Hi Alison, thanks for the reminder; somehow this mail didn't get through to me. In atmospheric trace gas remote sensing, nobody to my knowledge uses the unit "mol m-2". General question: Is it "allowed" to use a different unit in the variables metadata than is specified in the standard name table? I.e. if the new standard name table contains "mol m-2" as unit, would it still be "legal" for me to use "molecules cm-2" in the file itself? Best regards, Andreas. _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
