#!CDarkGreen #!N  #!Rall670 Positions #!N #!EC #!N #!N If the 
locations of the data values in  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   variable1 #!EF do not 
form a regular lattice (with origins at 0.0 and spacings of 
1.0), the name of a netCDF variable that contains the position 
information must be specified as an attribute for  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable1 #!EF 
. #!N #!N There are five different types of position specifications: 
none, completely regular, completely irregular, and two types of partially regular. 
#!N #!N Completely irregular is assumed if the following attribute is 
specified: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable1 #!EF :positions = 
"  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable2 #!EF "; #!EF #!N #!N #!EC where  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   
variable2 #!EF is an array of vectors, one for each grid 
point, defining its location. The dimensionality of the data space is 
determined by the number of items in a vector. #!N #!N 
Regular positions can be specified with just the origin and spacing 
between grid points along each axis in compact form. The following 
attribute is used: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable1 #!EF 
:positions = "  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable2 #!EF , compact"; #!EF #!N #!N 
#!EC where  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable2 #!EF is the name of a  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   
n*2 #!EF array containing origin, delta pairs for the spacing and 
location of positions along each axis. The number of positions along 
each axis is determined from the shape of  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable1 #!EF 
. #!N #!N Positions that can be specified as the product 
of arrays containing the location of points along each axis can 
be input in product form. Use the following attribute: #!CForestGreen #!N 
#!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable1 #!EF :positions = "  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable2a

#!N #!N #!EC where the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable2 #!EF 's are each 
the name of an array containing a list of positions along 
that axis. The number of items in each array must match 
the length of the corresponding axis in the original  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable1 
#!EF data array. #!N #!N If any of the axes in 
an partially regular product array are actually regular, they can be 
specified in compact form: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable1 
#!EF :positions = "  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable2a #!EF , product, compact; #!N

 #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   variable2a #!EF is the name of an origin, delta array, 
and the rest are position lists as before. #!N #!N #!N
