Hi Daniel, The reference to `dimension _one` and `dmension_two` is a bit fragile. When switching from C to FORTRAN the developer/user may easily make a mistake since the order of the dimensions would be switched. I would suggest to use a more neutral name for instance `wind_along_dimension` and add an attribute `direction_dimension = 'i'` or dimensionId in general to point to the relevant dimension.
Such an approach might also be used for vector quantities in a direction corresponding to a auxiliary coordinate variable (`direction_coordinate = 'x'`), but the earlier replies to my initial post indicate that the `axis = 'x'` attribute combined with `standard_name = 'x_wind'` is already available for that now.
