[CF-metadata] Broken links to NUG in conventions document
Hi, the CF-convention document, both the draft 1.7 and the current 1.6 version have several links to the NUG, e.g. http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf.html . This page no longer exists and has moved to http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/user_guide.html There are no longer numbered chapters, so 'see chapter 5 of the NUG' no longer works. (that is, I guess, now: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf_utilities_guide.html) The CF-convention references appendix B and C in the NUG, while the current NUG only has appendix A and B. (I guess NUG dropped the old appendix A) In addition, the CF-convention refers to default _FillValues in the NUG, which the NUG mentions, but never says what they are. I think this should be copied from the netcdf.h include file to the CF-convention page. Best regards, Heiko -- Dr. Heiko Klein Norwegian Meteorological Institute Tel. + 47 22 96 32 58 P.O.
