#13 | fixed | Procedure for correcting errors in the CF documents | cf-conventions@… | jonathan |
Description |
Rich Signell has pointed out an error in the CF standard document by raising a trac ticket. I think we need rules for deciding to make corrections, or there's a danger they might not be implemented. I propose the following:
It feels a bit bureaucratic to have rules, but I think it may be necessary because experience shows that without rules we find it hard to reach conclusions. Please post your comments to this ticket. Jonathan |

#15 | fixed | Correct Appendix A for flag_values attribute | cf-conventions@… | jonathan |
Description |
This is a proposed correction for an error in the documents, not a change to the standard. According to the rules, it will be accepted if no-one objects to it in the next three weeks. The table in Appendix A incorrectly states that flag_values is a string attribute. This is inconsistent with CF 3.5, which says, "The flag_values attribute is the same type as the variable to which it is attached." This error was pointed out by John Stark in April 2007 http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2007/001614.html and this month by Philippe Poilbarbe on the netCDF email list. The correction required is as follows:

#16 | fixed | unnecessary & confusing variable in example 7.7 | cf-conventions@… | taylor13 |
Description |
In example 7.9 of the convention, the variable time_bounds appears but is not needed because the climatology_bounds are defined. Note that there is no "bounds" attribute pointing to time_bounds, so they aren't really illegal, but they are unnecessary and therefore might be confusing. Recommend delighting time_bounds from the example. |
