I am thinking of MODIS data: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moderate-Resolution_Imaging_Spectroradiometer#MODIS_Bands As you can see, not all the bands have same spatial resolution (or spatial dimensions), even though all of them have same units. Could we even store all the bands in the same variable?I think multiple resolutions in same variable would be difficult and impracticable, the CF conventions for defining Projections, analytic or lat/lon, don't work like this. You'd probably have to define another dimension to index the different resolutions for the data, lon and lat variables. I would think this would bepretty messy. Tom
Correct, you need seperate variables for different resolutions. However, theres no problem with having multiple coordinate systems in the same file. So if you chose, you would create multiple groups of variables, each group with their own coordinates.
