Dear Jonathan,

for me, it is mainly important to see that the ticket is on track and will be included in the next CF-document. I couldn't see that in the ticket and it even got a 'low'-priority status, so I started to get worried it might get rejected.

I like to have stable versions to remain stable - this is not possible when we declare a non-existing document for stable. People are free to put whatever they want into their files (and the ocean_s_coordinate_g? have been there for at least 5 years, even without being accepted by CF), so I don't see any need to rush.

Best wishes,

Heiko

Dear Heiko

We have to agree a new format for the source of the CF document, because the
existing one appears hard to maintain, and that's one reason why CF 1.7 has
not been completed. I hope this will be sorted out soon. All agreed tickets
will be implemented.

In fact, I don't see why we shouldn't decide now on the list of tickets which
will be included in CF 1.7 and say that people can put CF-1.7 into the
Conventions attribute now, although the document itself does not exist. What
do others think?

Best wishes

Jonathan

Dear all,

three years ago, Rich submitted the addition for a new
ocean_s_coordinates_g* to the ticket system:
http://cf-trac.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/93 The ticket was approved by 3
authors and accepted in 2012.

When will this ticket be available in the CF document? What needs to
be done? (And why does the ticket have 'low' priority?)

Best regards,

Heiko

Rich,

it must have been the netcdf-java package where I have seen these
standard-names. The description on the netcdf-java pages are outdated,
still using formula_terms a and b. I just checked the code, and that is
up to date working with the formula_term -array C(k).

It'll be good to have an official version. Thanks for picking this up
again.

Heiko,

We worked with John Caron several years ago to get these into the CDM
in the NetCDF-Java library, so if you have g1 or g2 coordinates they
will work with codes that use NetCDF-java (like the Matlab NCTOOLBOX
and Unidata's IDV),  and I remember we drafted up some documentation
to  submit to CF, but looks like we dropped the ball.    I'll pick it
up again.

Hi,

I'm currently working with ROMS ocean model files. The model uses a
generalized ocean_s coordinate as defined by
https://www.myroms.org/wiki/index.php/Vertical_S-coordinate .

The same page says that their s_coordinate is covered by standard_names
    ocean_s_coordinate_g1
    ocean_s_coordinate_g2
and I believe I have seen at least the g1 case in a draft of a CF
convention
some month ago. Both cases are also implemented in the netcdf-java
package
with above standard_names:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/StandardCoordinateTransforms.html


But I cannot find any of those names any longer, neither in CF-1.6
nor in
the standard_names tables.

Does somebody remember what happened to these vertical coordinates?
According to the ROMS Wiki, the standard_names have been added in March
2009.



Best regards,

Heiko
