Hi John,

I read the "WRF staggered grids and vertical coordinates" thread on CF-metadata (End 2003/Beginning 2004) with great interest, as I would also like to adopt
the CF-conventions for the output from our nonhydrostatic model.

Do you know, what the current status of the affair is? How are the staggered
grids treated in WRF? Have the WRF developers adopted the CF-conventions?

Thanks for your help.

As I understand it, V. Balaji from Princeton / GFDL is proposing something for staggered grids that the CF folks like. However, Im not sure what the status is, so im posting to the CF mailllist; you might want to join and dialog there yourself. Go to the home page to join etc:

I think the WRF folks would like to adopt CF when the staggered grids are solved. Im cc'ing to Tom Henderson (WRF) because Im not sure if hes on CF or not, and he can perhaps clarify.
