Hi all,

I am new on this mailing list and I hope my question is not so obvious

My problem is with:

*At the adress : *http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/requirements-and-recommendations/1.5/ I find

*« 2.1 Filename*

*Requirements:*

  * Filename must have ".nc" suffix."

But If I read the CF documentation http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.5/cf-conventions-multi.html I find


    "2.1. Filename

NetCDF files should have the file name extension "|.nc|". "

For me there is a difference between "must" and "should"?.

If i have another suffix than nc, can i be CF compliant?



The actual CF convention says "should", im not sure why **http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/requirements-and-recommendations/1.5/ says "must".

Anyway, you dont need to have your file end in ".nc" to be CF compliant.
