Consider:

:units = "days since 1970-01-01";
vs
int time(sample=1001);
:long_name = "Measurement time";
:standard_name = "time";
:units = "3 days since 1970-01-01";
values = 1, 2, 3, ...
are these equivalent or does the second one mean every 3 days ?
Is the second one illegal ?
Im am going to assume that the second form is illegal, that is,
you may not have a number in front of the unit in a "time
coordinate unit" (CF section 4.4)
I wish you wouldn't. We use that all the time, though mostly for
365_day calendars.
Benno
could you give an example. do you ever use non-integers ?
