pycomodo vs sgrid

[rabernat]

I just discovered this sgrid convention:
https://publicwiki.deltares.nl/display/NETCDF/Deltares+proposal+for+Staggered+Grid+data+model+(SGRID)

It has a python implementation:
https://github.com/sgrid/pysgrid

This could potentially be an alternative to pycomodo, which is not always 100% satisfactory.

thanks Ryan. that's indeed an interesting resource.

choosing robust naming conventions will be key for pangeo-data. at the same time, this sort of effort can be very time-consuming. not sure how to proceed here.

btw, @adcroft also mentionned to me a prototype standard for describing grids he has worked on a couple of years ago : https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~vb/gridstd/gridstd.html
