[ESIP-CF] CF Cluster telecon today

[Upendra Dadi]

Hi All,
   I added a link on the Wiki to a netCDF file created by NDBC which 
uses groups.

On a related note, I want to ask this group if they have considered 
using user defined structures in place of groups.  As you might be 
knowing that netCDF-4 allows compound types which are based on C struct. 
Compound types along with variable length arrays could often be a good 
substitute for using groups. With regard to CF, incorporating groups, I 
am guessing, is much more challenging than including compound types. 
Anybody disagrees? I am looking for some examples where groups are much 
better suited than using compound types and/or variable length arrays. 
Please let me know if you have one. Thank you!

Upendra
