My option: since the application will have to recognize the other metadata in order to ascertain that this file has "image data", then it probably could be smart enough to realize that if the "band" dimension is not part of the shape of the data, that it can (and should) default to "1". tom -- Tom Whittaker University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science & Engineering Center (SSEC) Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) 1225 W.
