HI all,

Consider a grid consisting of both triangular and rectangular grid cells with n total grid cells. In this case the cell_bounds for longitude could be dimensioned (n, 4) because there are a maximum of 4 cell vertices.

My question is, for the triangular grid cells do we *require* the 4th element of the bounds to be set to missing_value? If not, how does software decide how many vertices each grid cell has?

Also, in H.2.3 examples H.4 and H.5, missing_value is defined for the time coordinate, time(time). I don't think coordinates are allowed to include missing values. Is this a "defect" in our document?

thanks in advance,
Karl
