Hi all - While I agree that CF intends to only recognize numeric-valued coordinate variables, I think the reference to the NUG definition makes the CF statement somewhat ambiguous. (A careful reading of various sections helps make the intent clear. However, not everyone reads the specification text that carefully. I, for one, did not realize this restriction was intended and I’ve read many parts of the CF spec pretty carefully but never before, it turns out, while questioning my NUG coordinate variable assumptions.)
**A bit of a side-note, or FYI**: We at Unidata are working to make the NUG a document that better supports community engagement. We are currently working to move it to its own GitHub repo to better support community input and discussions. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
