Dear all,

Is there a way to store outline information in NetCDF/CF?

I am looking for a way to store e.g. glacier outline, sea ice edge/extent etc
in NetCDF. It would simplify data management within heterogeneous systems.
Data can then be dumped to Shapefiles, KML etc upon user request, but for long
term data management purposes they may be stored in NetCDF/CF along with
gridded data, time series, trajectories etc.

All the best
?ystein
