One potential use-case that always came to my mind without an actual example at hand Is the native names of weather stations, say a temperature time-series from the Umeå station, where the variable name contains the station name.
What makes this particularly interesting is that it seems to be permitted already under current CF conventions, since under [CF-1.8, Section 2.3 Naming Conventions](http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.8/cf-conventions.html#_naming_conventions) it says: > Variable, dimension, attribute and group names should begin with a letter and > be composed of letters, digits, and underscores. [...] Languages other than > English are permitted for variables, dimensions, and non-standardized > attributes. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
