Dear Randy
The area of cells can be recorded in a variable pointed by the
cell_measures attribute. I think that a scalar cell_measures could be provided
if all the cells were the same size. Thus, there is a CF way of storing this
information but, as with the difference between coordinates, you
Hello,
The summary of CF Metadata Trac tickets has been updated for the 20th

27 tickets have been accepted [green]
3 tickets are in active discussion in the last 3 weeks [yellow]
17 tickets are dormant [red]

Jonathan:
Using the current cell measure conventions (using the area measure) to
capture resolution doesn't work all that well for us because the resolution
of the gridded observation data is in terms of radians (i.e. angular
resolution), In addition, the example in CF para. 7.3 leads
David H,
It appears that ticket #86, Allow coordinate variables to be scaled
integers, has met all requirements for acceptance, after a lengthy
series of comments. Please change its status to accepted, or else let
us know what you think is missing. Thank you.

Andreas Jim,
The hdf5_handler module in Hyrax OPeNDAP server has implemented the Jim's
idea of making the group structure flat. For example, we've made ICESat-2
Mabel product (HDF5 with many groups) conform to CF conventions [1] so
users can even download it as NetCDF-3 [2].We've made
Hello Jonathan,
Thanks for your reply to this post. I see your point of view. I guess
it would be odd if a name lifted_index was adopted when the general
naming paradigm for the CF standard names is to attempt to phrase each
quantity in general atmospheric terms so that they are general
Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for your clear response and focused question on the
comparability of our proposed standard names across different different
data sets. The masks that we propose: cloud, dust, smoke and aerosol are
intended to be used across different data sets. I contend that the
