From the ncview page:
Dimensional variables
A convention that ncview follows is that the values along a dimension are stored in variables of the exact same name as the dimension itself. I call these "dimensional variables", or "dimvars" for short. So, for example, imagine you have a dimension named "Time" that has a size of 3. If you want ncview to understand that the first time is 1995.0, the second is 1996.0, and the third is 1997.0, then you need to make a variable named "Time" that has exactly one dimension, the "Time" dimension, and has values (1995.0, 1996.0, 1997.0).
Currently, the dimension is named
somegrid_1and the dimensional variablesomegrid_X. We could change either the dimension or dthe variable name, what would make more sense?PS: the variable carries the attribute
axis: X, so I would argue for the variable name also for the dimensionThis could be easily implemented in
