Dear Karl,
I guess the idea was to define a general attribute
grid_mapping="gridding_method grid_parameter1: value1 grid_parameter2:
value2 .... grid_parametern: valuen"
where the number and names of the grid_parameters are depending on the
gridding_method.
In the case of a rotated lat/lon grid this would be for example
grid_mapping="rotated_latitude_longitude grid_north_pole_latitude: 32.5 grid_north_pole_longitude: -170.
north_pole_grid_longitude: 10."
I think that is what Brian and Jonathan have in mind, if I understand them
right.
Thus the experts on the grids you mentioned may define the names for the
grid_method and the parameters for their grids, and propose this to the CF
group to become an official part of the CF conventions.
regards
Burkhardt

Thema: Re: [CF-metadata] grid_mapping
Dear all,
Is this system general enough? The French (LODYC) have a grid for their
ORCA model in
which both poles are located in the N. Hemisphere. (Which is the north
pole?).
The HOPE model at MPI can have 3 poles (at least in one configuration). I
think we
should try to make CF general enough to accommodate these.
Karl
