Dear John and Benno
No, CF doesn't specifically exclude add_offset for coordinate variables, but it
only talks about it regarding packing data variables, and in Table A it is
listed only as an attribute of data variables, not coordinate variables. I
think that's because coordinate variables don't
Sorry, one other one which Pierre didn't remark on. This name is rather
obscure, even bizarre :-)

I wonder if we could convey this meaning any more plainly? What about

Dear Alison and Siobhan
Sorry for late comments on the cryosphere names.
I commented this week on shear. I was wrong to suggest that sea ice shear
is like wind speed shear, because the latter is the vertical derivative of
a horizontal speed, whereas sea ice shear is (I think) a horizontal
Dear Alison
surface_downward_heat_flux_in_snow; Wm-2
I think there is a need to have distinct surface heat fluxes in the media on
either side of the surface because there might be a phase change going on
actually at the interface, so there would then be a vertical divergence in
heat flux at the
Hello Jonathan,
The term 'statistics' has a slightly different meaning for wave data.
Essentially, what wave instrumentation does is record vertical displacement of
the sea surface at very high frequency for a period of say ten minutes.
Spectral analysis techniques are then used to derive
Again, OK for me.
