OK. Woul
Dear Jonathan,
Deprecating the units attribute for string and char variables (perhaps
int, too?) sounds like a good idea. Yet, I would still second Marc to at least
allow for a "None" value in the units attribute - as far as I understand this
wouldn't break the compatibility.
But, in
Hello Jim et al
I have followed your path and I agree with your analysis
It looks like my assumption, and a whole part of my discussion thread, is based
on a piece of code in a third party udunits wrapper which is not part of
udunits. Hence I have been muddying the issue with an interpretation
Hello,
Is it worth introducing the new standard name 'ensemble' which is an alias for
'realization'? (Have we talked about this before?)
Initially we used 'realization' to try to be more general than model studies
(i.e. samples from distributions produced by statistical techniques) but

Modified to fit Mark's use case, I think suitable text is:
name: original_ensemble_size
description: The number of member realizations in the originally constituted
ensemble. This provides context for any specific realization, for example
orienting a member relative to its original group (even
Hi Jim,
Actually, the latitude, longitude, and z values are not sampled at different
rates (I showed them as such for an extreme example, and in some decimation
schemes they end up being asynchronous), but in reality the science data are
collected asynchronously from each other and the coordina
Dear All (especially John Caron),
We're currently extending the SeaDataNet NetCDF standard - a profile of CF1.6 -
to cover vessel-mounted ADCP and other profileTrajectory data (e.g. towed
thermistor chains). Two issues have arisen.
1) For a ship, VMADCP have profiles of current parameters for e
