Hi Ryan, Sorry for the slow ping. Following the success of the [UGRID](http://ugrid-conventions.github.io/ugrid-conventions/) we drafted SGRID as a lightweight meta data layer to add staggered grid information to NetCDF files...

In addition: SGRID describes what xgcm refers to as "simple grids". We don't address the connectivity of multiple structured grid tiles, but we did look into this topic for unstructured...

Thanks Rich!

Some comments on SGRID. SGRID was primarily developed as a means to define staggered gridded data on a structured mesh (similar to UGRID for unstructured meshes) as a complement to...

SGRID indeed allows for the definition of an abstract staggered mesh without coordinates. Most of UGRID also allows for an abstract unstructured mesh, but the UGRID conventions specify that the...

This issue only makes sense if the _get_grid_origin_ call may return something else than the lower-left corner of the model grid which is currently specified in the description of the...

including a way to query a component to check whether it implements one of the extensions (or a particular extension)

I think you're getting closer to a solution indeed. I always struggle with the word row major or column major. This suggests to me that the data would be ordered...

I didn't want to cause confusion @aaraney Thank you for the example. Yes, if you define a `[nx,ny]`-sized array in FORTRAN and C then the quickest dimension in FORTRAN is...

Following this discussion from a distance with interest ... but I just realized that there is a risk of mixing two concepts. You are here considering using the same names...
