#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 davidhassell): Replying to [comment:45 markh]: Dear Mark, > Does such a Field instance conform to your view of the CF data model specification? I'm afraid not! I think the field you describe has: 5 '''un'''ordered domain axes ({size}): h{1}, t{1}, x{96}, e{1}, y{73} a 2D array of data(y, x) 4 dimension coordinates: time(t), height_level(h), latitude(y), longitude(x) 5 auxiliary coordinates: forecast_reference_time(t), forecast_period(t), ensemble_member(e), source(e), institute(e) In my field, domain axis ''e'' has no dimension coordinate and ''ensemble_member'' is an auxiliary coordinate. This is because I am presuming that, even though it's numeric, the coordinate's value seems arbitrary to me. However, I could just as easily have made ''ensemble_member'' one of 5 dimension coordinates and had only 4 auxiliary coordinates.
