@marqh It might be useful to provide an example that used a projected CRS WKT. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/223#issuecomment-570287996 This list

2020-01-02 Thread JimBiardCics
@davidhassell If I am understanding @marqh's proposal correctly, you should have only x and y for the coordinates associated with crs in the grid_mapping attribute in your example. The implication of the coordinate variables x and y in your example is that the coordinate system is a projected

@graybeal I read and understand the sentence in question this way: A file that is compliant with a particular version of CF and contains a declaration of the CF version used is not made invalid by any later change to CF that would make the same file non-compliant if it was declared to use that

A few comments on the discussion to this point. I think the discussion is moving in the overall right direction. If seems to me that there was confusion at first between implementations and uses on the one hand and design and conventions on the other. I think we need to seriously consider how

Hi @davidhassell I don't understand the last example you presented. please could you explain in words and/or examples what is meant by four different coordinates all 'grid mapping' to the same CRS? thank you mark -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply

Re. the order in being in the CRS-WKT - that makes sense, thanks. My other comment on N-d variables was referring to the case when dimension coordinate and auxiliary coordinate variables are attached to the same grid_mapping, which I think is allowed: ``` dimensions: x = 18 ; y = 36 ;

Hi Mark, Many thanks for the explanation - just what I needed - I now wholly understand the reason for the proposal. In your CDL example, you also have the axis order encoded in the CRS-WKT string: ``` AXIS["latitude",north,ORDER[1]], AXIS["longitude",east,ORDER[2]], ``` Was that

Dear Mark I think your proposal makes sense, if you're sure that the variables listed in the `grid_mapping` attribute (in the extended form) always correspond to the coordinate variables of the OGC CRS, do they? Maybe it's obvious that they must be - I'm not familiar with it. In your text, I
