Dear all,

I created a .nc file which contains chlorophyll concentration (standard 
name "concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water").
The units suggested by the Standard Name Table is kg m-3. In my file I 
used as units attribute mg m-3, beacause the low chl concentration values.
The Compliance Checkher does not accept this units, and indicates it as 
an error.

Any suggestions? Can I ignore this error, becasue kg m-3 and mg m-3 are 
physically equivalent?

Thanks,


anna
