#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 stevehankin): The idea of an attribute "modulo=[length]" has been proposed in trac email discussions on a number of times and is badly needed. The fact is that users have been utilizing such attributes for years (pre-dating CF) ... just have never found the energy to converge on a CF encoding. Here's an example in the documentation for the Ferret program: http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/Grids- Regions/REGIONS#_VPINDEXENTRY_731 However, the use of the modulo attribute does not negate the requirement that the numerical encoding of the axis be monotonic. It merely informs the application reading the coordinates that (for modulo=360) a coordinate of -180 is the same position as a coordinate of 540. -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/95#comment:33> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
