Also, isn't ancillary variable more a "metadata variable"? I am not clear what it means to be a "data variable" to begin with?

Dear Upendra

   Does the spatio temporal coordinates specified for a variable
apply automatically to all the ancillary variables as well or do
they need to be specified explicitly for each ancillary variable? Or
is it left to the software to decide? Is there any recommendation
here?
Ancillary variables are data variables, and need the coordinates and
grid_mapping attributes if applicable.

Cheers
