[CF-metadata] CF point observation Conventions ready for review
Hi Han:
Ok, let me understand what you have before I comment on whether it fits in:

It looks like you have a single moored buoy in this file.
The 1D lat, lon I think are clearer as scalars :
float latitude ;
latitude:axis = "Y" ;
float longitude ;
longitude:axis = "X" ;
float time(time) ;
time:axis = "T" ;
float depth(depth) ;
depth:axis = "Z" ;
float STMP(time, depth) ;
STMP:standard_name = "sea_water_temperature" ;
short INST_SN(depth) ;
INST_SN:long_name = "instrument_serial_number" ;
So it appears that you have the same depth coordinate for each measurement, and some data which is independent of the time, but z dependent. Am I missing anything?
