Maarten,It would, instead be something like this: dimensions: lon = 360; lat = 180; layer = 18; vertices = 2; variables: float lat(lat); lat:long_name = "latitude"; lat:units = "degrees_north"; lat:bounds = "lat_bnds"; float lon(lon); lon:long_name = "longitude"; lon:units = "degrees_east"; lon:bounds = "lon_bnds"; float pressure(layer, lon, lat); pressure:long_name = "pressure grid"; pressure:units = "hPa"; pressure:bounds = "pressure_bnds"; float lat_bnds(lon,vertices); float lon_bnds(lat,vertices); float pressure_bnds(layer,lon,lat,vertices); float O3(layer, lon, lat); O3:units = "1e-9"; O3:coordinates = "pressure"; You can have a layer index coordinate variable if you require/desire one, but it isn't necessary. The bounds attribute is applied to the pressure variable, and a coordinates attribute is applied to the O3 variable naming the pressure variable. The pressure variable is an "auxiliary coordinate", and must be explicitly associated with the O3 variable in this way.
Thanks, understood. Best, Maarten _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
