Dear all,
We are trying to improve the support for foreign languages in our software.
In that context we are hitting the problem of storing multi-byte characters in NetCDF files for e.g. station names.
I've tried to search the archive of this group for statements about this topic. I've found a mail thread of early last concerning Pre-proposal for "charset" that touched upon this topic, but this proposal was in the end withdrawn. I haven't found anything beyond this.
I expect that I have to start using NetCDF4 one-dimensional string variables with _Encoding = 'UTF-8' for label/id dimensions (e.g. timeseries_id).
Unfortunately this would be officially incompatible with current CF conventions.
Any plans for adopting this in CF-2.0?
Does anyone have experience with this?
Any recommendations?
Best regards,
Bert
