Dear Klaus, I hope to allay your concerns by noting that all of the UGRID machinery for storing connectivity will certainly be imported into CF unchanged - it is just that in the logical data model we don't need to make special mention of it. This is because it turns out the connectivity

Note that not having explicit connectivity creates a (potentially) rather large computational overhead for the reconstruction of it. This will be exacerbated with more complicated grids in the future, think time-dependent unstructured grids, perhaps with regionally varying timestep. I think it

Dear Jonathan, That's right. I should have made that clearer, so many thanks for pointing it out! CF provides cell connectivity by inspection of coincident (or possibly overlapping) bounds. UGRID provides an index based encoding for making the connectivity easier to find in many

I agree that a cell which is an edge bounded by two nodes is fine in the CF data model, yes. (H) is correct that CF doesn't explicitly recognise connectivity, although you could infer it from coincidence - isn't that right? Jonathan -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this
