Hi Robert! I hope all is well at GISS. On 2019-03-18 at 20:30 -0700, Schmunk, Robert B.

Yes, I had found that and am modeling my data format after H2.1: http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html#_orthogonal_multidimensional_array_representation_of_time_series But I have a Panoply-specific question related to this data. When open the file I'm creating in Panoply, runoff variable type is "2D" and dimension are "cat" and "time", and the Panoply-displayed info is: double runoff(time=365, cat=31240); :units = "m3 s-1"; :long_name = "RACMO runoff"; :standard_name = "water_volume_transport_in_river_channel"; :description = "..." :_ChunkSizes = 1U, 31240U; // uint I'd like to also be able to plot data on (lon,lat). If I add :coordinates = "lon lat" then the data is "Geo2D", but I can only make a "longitude-time" georeferenced plot (and again cat v. time 2D plot). I've been trying and searching for what attributes I need to add to help your software display the results on a (lon,lat) grid/map. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks, -k.
