Hi Upendra,
We had some similar data from the Secchi disc depth observations
and related data recording the observed sea water colour on the Forel-Ule
water colour scale. The Forel-Ule scale is a set of character codes
F1,F3 ...F11, U1, U3....U11 corresponding to known colour standards
e.g F1 is a deep Blue, U1 green and U11 brown. The scale therefore
doesn't have physical units so I don't think its in udunits.
I did start some work about how I could encode our the Secchi disc/Forel-Ule
data in netCDF and I thought that an array of character string
would suit i.e:
netcdf tmp {
dimensions:
OBS = 74 ;
string8 = 8 ;
variables:
double TIME(OBS) ;
double LATITUDE(OBS) ;
double LONGITUDE(OBS) ;
char FOREL_ULE(OBS, string8) ;
double SECCHI_DEPTH(OBS) ;
data:
...
....
FOREL_ULE =
"U1",
"U11",
"U11",
....
As for 'milliequivalent' I am not sure.
