Coordinates attribute for the variables

From C2SM/zonda-request#249

Where should this feature be added?

Web Interface

Feature Description

It would be nice to get the attribute
coordinates = "clat clon" ;
with accompanying fields clon, clat:

        double clon(ncells) ;
                clon:standard_name = "longitude" ;
                clon:long_name = "center longitude" ;
                clon:units = "radian" ;
                clon:bounds = "clon_bnds" ;
        double clon_bnds(ncells, vertices) ;
        double clat(ncells) ;
                clat:standard_name = "latitude" ;
                clat:long_name = "center latitude" ;
                clat:units = "radian" ;
                clat:bounds = "clat_bnds" ;
        double clat_bnds(ncells, vertices) ;

Why is this feature needed?

For easy visualisation (psy-view) of the external data.

To me it looks like clon and clat are already in the output. I don't see clon_bnds and clat_bnds though. Should I only add those?

[mjaehn]

Yes I think this is sufficient.

[mjaehn]

clon:long_name and clat:long_name attributes are missing, too. Maybe you can also add them.

[stelliom]

Mmh, I do see clon:long_name and clat:long_name in the output.
