  • grid shouldn't be required if grid is implicit in a given file's dimensions
    • make it optional
    • get a few example grids/grid-id/grid-urls
  • title
    • description needs to be fleshed out
    • link to payu naming convention?
    • provide scope for non-payu names?
    • examples
  • Need an example URL for experiment_url
  • Remove _FillValue since it should be baked into any sensible netCDF file
  • Update experiment_* and run_id to be clearer
  • Updated licence to the standard spelling of license
  • Updated variable_id

Under what circumstances would

[ "uas,vas" ]

be preferred over

[ "uas", "vas" ]

?

I'm not sure what the different use cases are?

My goal was to avoid needing any processing of the attributes from a netCDF file to map them to this schema.
