Hi John,At the NCDC meeting we talked about IOPS's for various binary data formats. I *thought* I heard you say that the recent TDS IOSP for GRIB data would automatically synthesize the CF curvilinear coordinates. When I look at examples like the ones below on Motherlode, I spot only coordinates in kilometers. (polar stereographic and lambert conformal examples listed below)Did I misunderstand something? What is your recommendation for getting generating the curvilinear (CF) coordinate variables that we need for the UAF project? We don't want to do it manually if it is already a solved problem.sorry to trouble you.

we dont automatically generate the 2D coords, but we could. the main issue would be to figure out how to tell the GRIB IOSP to do so, ie configuration. Would this be a global setting, or per-dataset? I assume this is coming through a TDS?
