Document ensemble axis detection #860
Comments
That's a good question. My guess is the ensemble work in netCDF-Java was based on some CF related conversations that never made it into the standard. The |
Hmm, I didn't realize it wasn't part of any standard. In that case, maybe this issue should be to better document Unidata's treatment of the axis. |
There is an "standard_name" on CF to represent ensembles coordinate: TDS5 it's supporting it but TDS4.X was using 'ensemble' This was mentioned on the netcdf-java mail list This is the conclusion:

From HMD-769692.
In order for a variable to be identified as an Ensemble
CoordinateAxis
in a gridded dataset:_CoordinateAxisType=Ensemble
attribute ORstandard_name=ensemble
attribute AND the dataset must have aConventions=CF-1.X
global attribute.I think we can do better than that. In particular, why are we detecting Ensemble axes ONLY for the CF conventions?
