I thought I'd seen something about this too, but I can't find anything in the existing conventions about spectral coefficients. I did find that Cathy Smith from NOAA/CDC <address@hidden> posted the following query to the netcdfgroup mailing list in 1994: We are trying to establish a standard for storing spectral data in netcdf and we were wondering if anybody has done any work in this area. so she may have gotten some responses, or they may have developed something. > 2.

Nope, sorry. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
