File-Contents (in Catchwords)

  1. header with metadata:
    1. list of dimensions (name and length),
    2. list of variables (name, type and dimension(s)) for which data are stored in the file,
    3. attributes related to variables (long_name, units etc.), and
    4. global attributes (title, history etc.).
    Remark: the names of attributes as well as standard variable names should be chosen according to the following given conventions:
  2. data for all variables stored in the file:
    1. coordinate-variable data,
    2. data for ordinary variables, for which only one data record is stored in the file, and finally
    3. data for record-variables (which have one unlimited dimension, e.g. time), which can be stored several times.
