From: Steven Emmerson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 May 2014 00:54 To: John Graybeal Cc: Lowry, Roy K.; CF Metadata List; [email protected] Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] UDUNITS error John, Plural units are allowed. The kilogram is the base unit of mass because that's what the SI says is the base unit of mass. I wish it wasn't. The UDUNITS package should accept "cubic meters" but doesn't. I consider that a bug and I'll work on it immediately.

If anyone has found a deep description of UDUNITS I'd love to know of it. So far it seems like one has to study and do tests with the code to understand all the details.

Anybody know why it's wrong? Cheers, Roy. ________________________________ This message (and any attachments) is for the recipient only.
