Dear Roy,
Our variable "chlorophyll count" as is understandable by CF is the
number of individual measurements used to determine a chlorophyll value.

I do need to know what to put at "units" attribute for that variable.
I undestood by the CF convention 1.4 (appendix C) that I have to put
"units="1" as the chlorophyll count is a dimensionless variable...but
the CF checker found it as an error.

I try not to put the Unit attribute ...but again i get an error by che
cf chcker.......so.....

my question is: what unit shoudl I set for my chlorophyll count variable?

thanks for your help.

cristina
