Hi Rosalyn,
Thanks for the clarification. That leads me to another question though, if
the *station_name *is defined as an aux co-ordinate, is it mandatory to
have associated units with it?
Can the units for the *station_name *variable be left blank? Is the
*station_name
*variable supposed to be monotonic?
Thanks,
Ajay
