Hi Robert!
I hope all is well at GISS.

Yes, I had found that and am modeling my data format after H2.1:
http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html#_orthogonal_multidimensional_array_representation_of_time_series
But I have a Panoply-specific question related to this data. When open the file
I'm creating in Panoply, runoff variable type is "2D" and dimension are "cat"
and "time", and the Panoply-displayed info is:
double runoff(time=365, cat=31240);
:units = "m3 s-1";
:long_name = "RACMO runoff";
:standard_name = "water_volume_transport_in_river_channel";
:description = "..."
:_ChunkSizes = 1U, 31240U; // uint
I'd like to also be able to plot data on (lon,lat). If I add
:coordinates = "lon lat"
then the data is "Geo2D", but I can only make a "longitude-time" georeferenced
plot (and again cat v. time 2D plot). I've been trying and searching for what
attributes I need to add to help your software display the results on a
(lon,lat) grid/map. Can you offer any suggestions?
Thanks,
-k.
