Before taking this off-line (now that I am back at work and can use my work email), can I just add that ERDDAP also has many of these features. In my opinion, a lot of the new efforts are reinventing the wheel. Perhaps taking time to see what is out there, what they do, and why they are

Interesting. Look at the archive around April 4, 2016. I was requesting a standard way to do anomalies, not just variable specific, since anomalies are calculated all over the place, and it seems to me it makes little sense to have a new name for each specific anomaly, rather than a generic

Sorry I hit the send button by accident. Yes, this is a very real question for us. If we make a new dataset from say two JPL files, JPL is no longer the creator, first because they didn't create it, but even more to say they are are the creator is to imply that they have put their stamp of

Hi David: I was unaware of these, thanks. This makes all the more important to look at the new HDF5 virtual datasets, which are basically virtual aggregations, in the sense of making sure that there is some harmonization. This is a new feature, and nows the time to make certain, if at all
