@martinjuckes - I don't see that the NUG allows for `string` coordinate variables. It explicitly mentions `char` in the coordinate variable context but does not mention the `string` type. (It uses the word "string" but I believe that is a hold over from before netCDF-4 and is just a shorthand reference to the use of `char` arrays to hold strings.) It also mentions that all the values of a string-valued coordinate variable "must be unique". I think that is the NUG's string version of monotonicity.
Where in CF is `string x(x)` or `char x(x,l)` explicitly disallowed? I haven't found it yet. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
