Introduction
The coordinate variables for multiple locations are described.
Version Discrete Sampling Geometry timeSeriesProfile
Data for several individual locations are stored in a netCDF file in accordance with the concept of a Discrete Sampling Geometry with featureType=timeSeriesProfile. An example (output from NCDUMP) for geometry as well as data is shown in 
.
Short list and description of some relevant variables used for individual locations:
- Mesh0_node_x(nMesh0_node): x-coordinate;
- Mesh0_node_y(nMesh0_node): y-coordinate;
- Mesh0_node_lon(nMesh0_node): geographic longitude;
- Mesh0_node_lat(nMesh0_node): geographic latitude;
- Mesh0_node_long_name(nMesh0_node,nMesh0_strlen1): long name;
- Mesh0_node_code_name(nMesh0_node,nMesh0_strlen2): short name;
- Mesh0_node_short_name(nMesh0_node,nMesh0_strlen3): shorthand name;
- Mesh0_node_id(nMesh0_node): identification number, e.g. with cf_role matching current featureType;
- Mesh0_crs: scalar container variable with informations (contents of attributes) about the coordinate transformation used (relationship between local and geographical coordinates).

Dimensions
- nMesh0_node : Number of locations.
Local coordinates
double Mesh0_node_x(nMesh0_node) ;
- Mesh0_node_x:long_name = "x-coordinate (projection)" ;
- Mesh0_node_x:units = "m" ;
- Mesh0_node_x:name_id = 1650 ;
- Mesh0_node_x:standard_name = "projection_x_coordinate" ;
double Mesh0_node_y(nMesh0_node) ;
- Mesh0_node_y:long_name = "y-coordinate (projection)" ;
- Mesh0_node_y:units = "m" ;
- Mesh0_node_y:name_id = 1651 ;
- Mesh0_node_y:standard_name = "projection_y_coordinate" ;
Comment:
- "name_id" corresponds to the so-called PHYDEF-Code of variables which is used internally at BAW.
Geographic coordinates
double Mesh0_node_lon(nMesh0_node) ;
- Mesh0_node_lon:long_name = "geographic longitude" ;
- Mesh0_node_lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
- Mesh0_node_lon:name_id = 1653 ;
- Mesh0_node_lon:standard_name = "longitude" ;
double Mesh0_node_lat(nMesh0_node) ;
- Mesh0_node_lat:long_name = "geographic latitude" ;
- Mesh0_node_lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
- Mesh0_node_lat:name_id = 1652 ;
- Mesh0_node_lat:standard_name = "latitude" ;
Comment:
- "name_id" corresponds to the so-called PHYDEF-Code of variables which is used internally at BAW.
