Hi.I thought it might be useful to throw out a very rough draft of the sort of thing I think we are talking about for representing bands. So here is a bit of CDL.
netcdf file:/san3/npp/jbiard/NcmlSamples/band_ideas.ncml {
dimensions:
bandit = 4;
lines = 5000;
samples = 5000;
variables:
float image(bandit=4, lines=5000, samples=5000);
:coordinates = "bandit polarization wavelength bandwidth";
:units = "W m-2";
:long_name = "the image";
:standard_name = "the_image";
short bandit(bandit=4);
:axis = "index";
:long_name = "band";
:standard_name = "band";
float wavelength(bandit=4);
:coordinates = "bandit";
:units = "um";
:long_name = "center wavelength";
:standard_name = "radiation_center_wavelength";
float bandwidth(bandit=4);
:coordinates = "bandit";
:units = "um";
:long_name = "bandwidth";
:standard_name = "radiation_bandwidth";
short polarization(bandit=4);
:coordinates = "bandit";
:units = "radians";
:long_name = "polarization";
:standard_name = "radiation_polarization";
}
