NetCDF multiple locations

Introduction

The coordinate variables for multiple locations are described.

File contents

Dimensions

1. 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:

1. "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:

1. "name_id" corresponds to the so-called PHYDEF-Code of variables which is used internally at BAW.
