Hi STu:

Try using this service:

it should tell you what problems you have.

John,

I need to make sure that the NetCDF files made at UNAVCO of solid earth geophysics data are Cf compilant and also THREDDS compliant. I will be reading the CF docs

carefully, and then visiting with you.

Could you glance at this cdl header and tell me if it may be
CF compliant? Ted Haberman of NGDC wants me to adapt my ascii converter
to turn an archive of bathymetry files into CF and THREDDS netcdf files,
and this is what I am making now.
