[CF-metadata] Support for compound data types

Dear CF community,

We are currently working on exporting our NASA Ames formated data to cf-compliant netCDF for our atmospheric composition database.

Since our metadata changes over time, for most of our variables, we were thinking about using compound data types.
Most of our metadata is of little interest to our average user and therefore we would avoid listing them as variables. Even so, we are still obligated to present this information.

So I am wondering if there any plans in the near future to implement compound data types for the CF metadata conventions?

All the best,


Richard Rud
