Dear all
Several people contributed to an email thread in October about OGC CRS WKT.
It would help the discussion about how to include WKT, or the ideas it
embodies, in CF if we had some more concrete examples of coordinate systems
that people would like to use in CF but can't currently be represented in CF,
and how they are described in WKT. If you can post any to this email thread,
that would be much appreciated.
Also, anyone is welcome to contribute to trac ticket 69, as below, where we are
discussing this.
https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/69
To contribute, you need a CF trac account. Please email
webmaster at pcmdi.llnl.gov
to request one if you don't have one.
Best wishes and thanks
Jonathan
