Second paragraph of 1.3 should read

We recommend that the NUG defined attribute Conventions be given the string value "CF-1.4" to identify datasets that conform to these conventions.

This mistake was spotted by Constantine Khroulev. We should remember to keep this sentence up-to-date in each version.

I am working with scientists that generate data on various aspects of climate conditions that occurred during the Pliocene. The data is used as input for climate models. I use netCDF format to distribute data and conform to CF metatdata standards when possible. One dataset we produce is a lat/lon grid of cells, each containing an integer that indicates the nature of ground cover that is predominate in that cell. There exists no continuity between these values -- 7 does not indicate an intermediate form between 6 and 8. Is there support for this thematic data in the CF standards that I have missed or is there some possibility of including it?

Thank you,

Example 7.4 in the conventions doc has an unlimited time dimension which must be listed as the first dimension in C ordering. The variables pressure, maxtemp, and ppn all have dimensions (station,time). All three should be modified to read (time,station).
