| Bounds Name | Dimensions | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| time_bounds | time,bounds |
e.g.
[0,24] is that convention always valid? |
| lat_bounds | lat, bounds | Values (1x1deg grid) prescribed: [-90., 89.], [-89., -88.], ... [89., 90.] |
| lon_bounds | lon, bounds | Values (1x1deg grid) prescribed: [0., 1.], [1., 2.], ... [359., 360.] |
| depth_bounds | depth,bounds | Should define the full vertical extent of the soil model layers |
NOTE: about bounds, time_bounds etc. in the context of SPECS (i.e. one variable per file).... for variables with different time steps time variables should be different, and then there should be different time_bounds variables, but this will be a problem for merging data fields in the same file, we are safe here because of the SPECS "one variable per file" rule
Variables
NOTE: coordinates should list first of all the auxiliary coordinate(s) and then all the other coordinates
