#95: Development of CF 1.5 Data Model -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: markh | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by ngalbraith): Also just a couple of comments/questions here. Can we assume that when you use the term 'array' you include singletons? Or does that need to be stated explicitly? Is the definition a little too specific? '' 'An auxiliary coordinate construct provides auxiliary information for interpreting the cells of an ordered list of one or more domain axes of the field.' '' The information in the aux coordinate isn't necessarily 'auxiliary' - only the construct is (i.e. as an alternative to a dimension coordinate). The aux coordinate doesn't need to be monotonic, and in some cases may not be ordered. Would a short version could be less ... limiting: '' 'An auxiliary coordinate construct provides information for interpreting one or more domain axes.''' Side note: We use aux coordinates to provide heights of meteorological sensors in files that may have subsurface data with a depth dimension. We may also use them for moorings that have a singleton lat/long dimension coordinate but also have GPS time series data. -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/95#comment:19> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
