[netcdfgroup] Please remove the RUC-example
This mail should maybe go rather to the unidata netcdf webmaster than to
this list. But I don't know how to contact him, so I'm trying here:
One of my fimex-users complaint about fimex not being able to read CF
files, although they looked very similar to the netcdf CF example file
on the unidata webpage:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/RUC.cdl
At the end, my user was missing the grid_name attribute, but was using
instead only the _CoordinateSystems = "projectionCoordSys"
attribute.
According to the netcdf user guide, names starting with '_' should only
be used for internal purposes. I think above file makes to much usage of
such attributes, and is therefore a bad example. It confuses more than
it helps. In my opinion, it would be nice to see this example removed
from the web-page of CF-examples at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/files.html
Best regards,
Heiko
