Dear all,
three years ago, Rich submitted the addition for a new
ocean_s_coordinates_g* to the ticket system:
http://cf-trac.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/93 The ticket was approved by 3
authors and accepted in 2012.
When will this ticket be available in the CF document? What needs to be
done? (And why does the ticket have 'low' priority?)
Best regards,
Heiko
