hi Kyle:
If you add the conventions attribute and standard_name attribute on the station_name variable:
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"; location="E:/work/kyle/CB3.3E.nc"> 
<attribute name="Conventions" value="CF-1.6" />
<variable name="station_name">
<attribute name="standard_name" value="station_id" />
</variable>
</netcdf
it will work with existing code. I am working on recognizing the cf_role, per the final spec.

We have been putting off writing maaannnyyy files.  The whole idea is to bypass 
using a relational database to store insitu data.

We were planning to standardize to 9.5.2 (Multidimensional TimeSeriesProfile at 
a Single Station) in a hope that they will be able to be part of a feature 
aggregation set.  This will allow us to bring multiple station files (single 
point) into one dataset covering a large area.

We are only working with historic datasets at this point (no updating of the 
files in real-time).

I attached a sample file that I just started putting together today.

Any ballpark timeframe (weeks, months) of when the CDM will support

all or most of these conventions?

I apologize if I'm the 100th person to ask.

Just waiting (impatiently) for non-ragged timeSeriesProfile support!

Hi Kyle:

CDM supports it all, it just happens to be a slightly earlier version.
I
guess Ill be back working on this in 3-4 weeks.

Are you planning on writing new files? Which encoding will you use?

We finally finished the CF Discrete Sampling Geometries conventions

-

this is now an accepted part of CF conventions version 1.6.


https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/attachment/ticket/37/CFch9-
may4.docx?format=raw

There were some changes in syntax - the CDM will be updated to

reflect

these. If you have concerns about backwards compatibility, please
contact me.
