Hi John,
I'm working on a specialized server that converts geo- referenced
coverages, originating from a WCS, onto a DAP response. I'm trying
to make my responses CF compliant which for simple georectified
coverages seems straightforward. What I want to be able to handle is
how to represent non-georectified coverages, those that might require
an 2D coordinate axis variable. In CF this is done with auxiliary
coordinate variables, I think, my question is do you have any NetCDF
examples of how that would be represented, both with the shape of the
variables and any attribution that your current CDM uses. From that
I could craft what I think the DAP response will need to be. If you
don't that's fine I thought you might have something like this lying
around as part of your use cases for the CDM.
Thanks, and no problem if you don't have such a beast...

Hi Dan:
Im not sure if i have a good examples for you.
If you go into the individual datasets on the motherlode server
(http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/) each NCEP model dataset gets
returned in CF format, either through opendap or as a netcdf file. you
could have a look at those as examples. Most are on a projection, and
the lat,lon variables would be 2D, though i dont usually include them.
Im not sure if those will be helpful or not.
