[ncl-talk] Plotting trajectories from CF-1.6 discrete sampling geometries

Hi,

we're currently defining a netcdf format for storing our trajectories
and consider CF-1.6 'Discrete Sampling Geometries' as a good basis to
write the data:
http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.6/build/cf-conventions.html#discrete-sampling-geometries

Since we would like to plot the data later, too, it should be easily
readable by NCL. Does NCL have some function to decode the discrete
sampling geometries described in CF-1.6? I guess the 'orthogonal
multidimensional arrays' just works since all the data is in
standard-arrays. What about the other representations?

Best regards,

Heiko
