I would appreciate community views on the interpretation of global attributes from a NetCDF file.
Scenario: - My file has multiple data variables and a list of global attributes. - I am loading one data variable and the associated information from one file. Question: - The global attributes apply to the file. In general, do they apply to each data variable within the file? To properly describe my data variable should I fetch the globals and assign them to my 'in memory' representation of my data variable? The global attributes 'history', 'conventions' and 'title' are described by CF differently to other globals: applying to the file but not valid data variable attributes; - Should my loaded data variable be aware of these attributes? thank you mark _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
