(Optional) the "`forecast_reference_time `_" variable for init_time. MET processes the CF-Compliant gridded NetCDF files with the projection information. The CF-Compliant NetCDF is defined by the global attribute "Conventions" whose value begins with "CF-" ("CF-"). The global attribute "Conventions" is mandatory. MET accepts the variation of this attribute ("conventions" and "CONVENTIONS"). The value should be started with "CF-" and followed by the version number. MET accepts the attribute value that begins with "CF " ("CF" and a space instead of a hyphen) or "COARDS".
