Randy,Look at the discussion in the CF standard about time bounds. If all the whole grid is considered to have a single start/end time pair, then the approach is to give the variable an additional time dimension of size one, create a time coordinate variable that contains the (mid-point) time to associate with the variable, and associate a bounds variable with the coordinate variable that specifies the start and end time. You might also consider whether or not it makes sense to associate a cell_methods attribute with the data variable that specifies any averaging over time and/or space for the elements of the grid.

Folks: I have gridded data sets that are generated as a result of an instrument doing sensing. It is convenient to store a gridded data set in a single variable. These gridded data sets are associated with a start time and an end time. Is there an existing CF metadata compliant approach that will allow relating a start time and an end time to a data variable ? ..............End of Message ...............................--> _______________________________________________ cf-satellite mailing list cf-satellite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list information or to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
