degree_C and degree C are not convertible #51

Closed edzer closed 6 years ago

I don't understand the following:

$ udunits2 
You have: degree C
You want: degree_C
udunits2: Units are not convertible
You have: degree_C
You want: degrees_C
    1 degree_C = 1 degrees_C
    x/degrees_C = (x/degree_C)
You have: degree C
You want: degrees C
    1 degree C = 1 (degrees C)
    x/(degrees C) = (x/(degree C))

Whitespace in units isn't allowed. "degree C" is "degree" multiplied by "C".

Thanks! I'll try to file the issue with the authors of the offending NetCDF files at ftp://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/OI-daily-v2/NetCDF . @mdsumner
