We have some point data that has positive-west longitude values. It
appears that netcdf-java (and perhaps the CF conventions) do not
support a unit of "degrees_west". This seems inconsistent, since
degrees_east is supported. While I assume we can work arround this by
adding a scale_factor attribute with a -1.0 value, I would encourage
you to consider this as a valid unit. (I also wonder if
"degrees_south" are recognized? I did not check this.....)
Thanks.....
