Hi-

There are several groups out there that create time series of various climate indicies (e.g. NINO3.4, NAO, MEI, etc) usually stored as ASCII text. These time series don't necessarily have a "location", but some may encompass a region (e.g. NINO3.4 has a bounding box).

If one wanted to store this in a netCDF file, is there a CF convention for such a beast? It looks like it's similar to the DSG "Single time series, including deviations from a nominal fixed spatial location" (Appendix H.2.3) without the fixed spatial location. Is the location information required for a timeSeries featureType?

Thanks for any info you could provide.

Don
