Comment (by mgschultz):

 Hello Mark,

 excellent! I only have a few minor remarks:

 1. "A dimension coordinate construct indicates the physical meaning and
 locations of the cells for a unique domain axis of the field." -- do we
 need the term "cells" here? I believe this implies some sort of gridded
 set-up (i.e. a numerical model), while in principle, "locations" should be
 all we need to know (?).

 2. I agree that string coordinates should be disallowed in the data model.
 Yet, it may be good to clarify that a dimension coordinate can consist of
 ordinal values, i.e. index values - for example indices of an auxiliary
 coordinate construct (if I understand the latter correctly).

 3. Concerning the auxiliary construct, this is hard to read (but I
 wouldn't know how to do it better right now). Perhaps it may hep to also
 refer to the example of hybrid pressure vertical coordinates here as
 another example?

 Best regards,

 Martin
