Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Some suggestions.

G'Day

How about the following features in the next version of netCDF ?

        1. String data type
                I heard this is in the works.
        2. Hidden variables:
                These can be used to make up an attribute list, but would 
                not "exist" or atleast would not be displayed by ncdump.
        3. Adopt TeX/LaTeX styles as standard for labels (ie B_{x,z})
                So that plotting programs are able to do sub/superscript 
                labelling of plots by picking the info. off a netCDF.

I can't do much about 1. and 2., but I have adopted 3. as a local standard.
Your views would be greatly appreciated.

        best regards
                Ata <(|)>.
