Cristina, I recommend the unit "1" for that use.
If the CF checker doesn't like that unit, then it should be fixed, IMO, because that unit is supported by both the US NIST and the BIPM.

Dear Roy, Our variable "chlorophyll count" as is understandable by CF is the number of individual measurements used to determine a chlorophyll value. I do need to know what to put at "units" attribute for that variable. I undestood by the CF convention 1.4 (appendix C) that I have to put "units="1" as the chlorophyll count is a dimensionless variable...but the CF checker found it as an error. I try not to put the Unit attribute ...but again i get an error by che cf chcker.......so..... my question is: what unit shoudl I set for my chlorophyll count variable? thanks for your help. cristina ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cristina Tronconi Istituto di Scienze dell'Atmosfera e del Clima - sezione di Roma Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Via Fosso del Cavaliere 100 00133 Roma, Italy Tel: +39 06 49934342 cell: '39 349 1242954 Fax: +39 06 20660291 e-mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
