I appreciate the proposal made by you.

But I wanted to know that in the given use case in the link mentioned by you

Use case:

char GOES_R;

:grid_mapping_name = "geostationary"; :perspective_point_height =
35785831.; :semi_major_axis = 6378137.; :semi_minor_axis = 6356752.31414;
:latitude_of_projection_origin = 0.; :longitude_of_projection_origin =
-137.0; :sweep_angle_axis = "x" :coordinates = "y x" :units = "m"

What does units="m" mean here?
This question may be a bit naive. But as I plan to embed it in my product.
I just want to know that what that means?

regards
Ghansham
