Re: [CF-metadata] Missing data bins in histograms

2019-05-10 Thread Jim Biard
Hi. Sorry I have been so quiet lately. I've been caught up in other activities. I have a strong aversion to the proposal to overload the missing_value attribute with a wholly different meaning. Using missing_value in this way will produce unexpected results in a number of existing software

[CF-metadata] order of product in standard name

2019-05-10 Thread Jonathan Gregory
Dear all I should have noticed that we already have a guideline about product_of_X_and_Y, which should also apply to covariance, correlation, and any other commutative function of X and Y: If X and Y are both scalars or both components of vectors, they are put in alphabetical order. If one of

Dear Robert, Alison, Having not much previous experience of a KWIC index I had a quick look at the web page. And my impression is that it would be very useful when looking for already existing standard names, and even more useful when constructing new ones based on existing patterns. I think

Hello All, I'm happy with that: covariance_over_longitude_of_northward_wind_and_air_temperature, with the understanding, which should be mentioned in the description, that the variable should be used with a vertical coordinate and the covariance over longitude should be taken along
