Don't know why it wasa closed

Closing as stale. No recent activity and likely no longer relevant. Can be reopened if needed.

That's not my point. I'm just trying to understand why there is a concern (discussed many times during the meeting) with this CF way of encoding CRS while GDAL/Xarray seems...

I want to take this good news of a new expert partipating to summarize the question for novices like me. Please correct me if I'm wrong. CF conventions (v1.10) allow...

Another useful information reported by Roger Lott (OGC CRS SWG co-chair): > Please be aware that the OGC CRS SWG has been developing an exchange format for gridded geodetic data...

Thank you very much for trying to explain. I think that my gaps in the geospatial field could lead to an endless discussion... For me, if we provide latitude/longitude in...

Okay, understood. There's no notion of degrees without a model. Intuitively, when I think of degrees, it's implicitly WGS84, which assumes an ellipsoid. So, to get back to a your...

@dwilson1988 : When the SWG is approved by the OGC, a specification document (following OGC standards) will be created with the necessary structure, allowing anyone interested to collaborate on topics...

This is good news, and I assume that the library supports all the extensions such as: [Mapping-from-CF-Grid-Mapping-Attributes-to-CRS-WKT-Elements](https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/wiki/Mapping-from-CF-Grid-Mapping-Attributes-to-CRS-WKT-Elements) The meetings were interrupted for several months to create the OGC SWG, and...
