Hi Folks,
I am trying to better understand CF model and its relationship with
netCDF-classic data model. Is there even a relationship? If I am
creating a netCDF file using CF conventions, does the file have to be
using classic data model? If I am using netCDF4 with strings and no
other feature of netCDF4, could it still be CF compliant. Is it right to
say that one of the basic elements of CF standard is regular arrays as
opposed to variable length arrays? And that is where the "relationship"
between CF model and netCDF-classic data model ends? Does CF "recognize"
variable length arrays?
I guess these issues are important in the context of proposed discrete
sampling geometry extension to CF.
