Tim, I can't verify that using spaces conforms to the CF standard because I don't know that standard. I can verify, however, that units like "meters per second" are perfectly acceptible to the UDUNITS package. > Hello, > > I'm looking at syntax for units here: > > http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits-2.2.12/doc/udunits/udunits2lib.html#Syntax > > From the examples, it looks like I don't need to convert spaces to > underscores in my units attribute in a netCDF file.
