Thanks Ethan, I appreciate it. Here's the current CDL and the attached
test file (I wasn't toggling the flower pot icon, just what I was
writing to the header):
netcdf D:/test.nc {
dimensions:
recNum = UNLIMITED; // (99 currently)
variables:
short sst(recNum=99);
:standard_name = "sea_surface_temperature aerosol-corrected";
:long_name = "Aerosol Corrected SST";
:units = "degC";
:add_offset = 0.0f; // float
:scale_factor = 0.1f; // float
:valid_range = -20s, 350s; // short
:coordinates = "latitude longitude obstime";
short latitude(recNum=99);
:standard_name = "latitude";
:long_name = "Latitude";
:units = "degrees_north";
:add_offset = 0.0f; // float
:scale_factor = 0.01f; // float
:valid_range = -9000s, 9000s; // short
:_CoordinateAxisType = "Lat";
int obstime(recNum=99);
:standard_name = "time";
:long_name = "Date and Time of Observation";
:units = "seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT";
:_CoordinateAxisType = "Time";
short longitude(recNum=99);
:standard_name = "longitude";
:long_name = "Longitude";
:units = "degrees_east";
:add_offset = 0.0f; // float
:scale_factor = 0.01f; // float
:valid_range = -18000s, 17999s; // short
:_CoordinateAxisType = "Lon";
:Conventions = "Unidata Observation Dataset v1.0";
:title = "Sea Surface Temperatures calculated at points based on satellite observations.";
:cdm_datatype = "Point";
:observationDimension = "recNum";
:geospatial_lat_max = 90; // int
:geospatial_lat_min = -90; // int
:geospatial_lon_max = 180; // int
:geospatial_lon_min = -180; // int
:time_coverage_start = "2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC";
:time_coverage_end = "2007-01-01 00:00:00 UTC";
}
