Hi Marie,

The referenced paper has now been put on-line, in the "Unidata-related
Here's a URL, in case you have Mosaic to look at it:

As Dave points out:
The paper is somewhat dated--the ideas in it probably are still
relevant, but the specific proposals should be viewed as less important
than the conventions work underway in the NUWG.
The NUWG (NOAA UCAR Working Group on netCDF conventions) is meeting monthly
to try to hammer out some conventions for representing geo-referencing
information for our meteorological netCDF data. As agreements are reached,
they will be documented in the pub/netcdf/Conventions/NUWG/ directory of
ftp.unidata.ucar.edu, where the documents will be available for anonymous
FTP.
