Hi John,
     It really doesn't matter if there is unit or not, as long as there is 
lat/lon/time information available in your dataset. Please reference following 
the online document for handling the text data:

> If the unit is not listed, is there any way to handle it?  Specifically, I am 
> interested in mole fractions (nanomole/mole and micromole/mole, or ppb and 
> ppm), and working with different metric prefixes (e.g. millibar).
