Hi Ben- > Yes, I got it to build and run on a local Linux box here at > hao. It read a tiegcm history file, and stopped with the expected > error saying it did not understand the vertical coordinate array. The code to handle that was not yet released. > In the meantime, the new dimensionless vertical coordinate has > been approved by the CF group (including Jonathan Gregory and > Brian Eaton), and added to Appendix D of the CF document: > > http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/eaton/cf-metadata/CF-current.html#sname Yes, I saw that on the list. Unfortunately, it will not be in the next release (next week) since we're in a code freeze now. We can probably code it up shortly after the release and have you test it once you redo your files.
