Hi Craig,
Thank you for the help you have offered me. I was able to convert our SWATH
data into netCDF following the CF-1 convention using one of your file as an
example. My main problem was that I set the units to "degrees_south" and
"degrees_west" and there is no such unit in the CF-1 convention.
I do have another question about softwares. I personally like 'IDV' quite
a lot to display netCDF, but thought there might be other softwares that
people use that I might not be aware of.
What softwares is your community using to display netCDF (CF-1) data?
Thanks again your help,
Best Regards,
Densi
