Hi Jim,
Yes, thanks for the reminder. We have the 'coordinates' attribute set on the
variables
you mention e.g
salinity:coordinates = "time latitude longitude pressure" ;
See my email Fri 27/4/12 with the file cdl_specV3.txt attached.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi.
If you are going to use the scalar method, you must include a "coordinates"
attribute on each data variable that names the scalar variables that specify the
coordinates for the data variable. So, you should add an attribute named
coordinates with the value "time longitude latitude" to temperature,
temperature_whole_profile_flag, temperature_qc_flag, temperature_sd_test,
salinity, etc.
Grace and peace,
Jim
