Hi Upendra,
I am leaving for Vienna for the EGU general assembly meeting. I will
send you the present specification the week after the next.
Best regards,
Stefano
Hi Upendra,
As part of the effort to establish CF as an OGC standard, Stefano
Nativi has created a UML diagram and carefully crafted systematic
description of the CF extension to the netCDF classic data model.
I'll send Stefano a copy of this message so he can send you the
latest version of the appropriate information. I have copies that I
can send, but I fear they may be out of date.
Please note that Stefano is very busy at this time as the chair of the
ESSI division of the EGU which is meeting next week, so he may not be
able to respond immediately.

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.
