Dear Bangyou Yes, CF has conventions for this. See Section 7.3 on Cell methods. However, I'm sorry to say I don't understand your example - I must have misunderstood something elementary. For instance, if you average over two of the dimensions, such as sites and sowing, won't there be 3*3=9

[CF-metadata] Proposal for standard names: tropospheric trace gas column amounts

2012-12-20 Thread Andreas Hilboll
Hi all, following the suggestion from Philip, I hereby propose the addition of the following standard names. All are commonly used quantities used in satellite remote sensing of atmospheric trace gases, and all are commonly used in units of molecules / cm^2: -
