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.
Is this the proper forum to request that a tag be added to the CF-1.x conventions. In the interest of usability, I would like to see a tag that contains an Open Geospatial Consortium WKT representation of the Spatial Reference System under grid_mapping_name example grid_mapping_name:spatial_ref lambert_conformal_conic:spatial_ref = "PROJCS["unnamed",GEOGCS["unknown",DATUM["unknown",SPHEROID["Sphere",6371200,0]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2SP"],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",33],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_2",45],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",40],PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0]]" This is a well defined standard, and can be read by many applications on the fly. It is slightly redundant, but it may improve usability. a link to ogc simple features standards, spatial ref is in the pdf here: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfa Thanks. -Kyle
