| description | Longitude is positive eastward; its units of degree\_east (or equivalent) indicate this explicitly. In a latitude-longitude system defined with respect to a rotated North Pole, the standard name of grid\_longitude should be used instead of longitude. Grid longitude is positive in the grid-eastward direction, but its units should be plain degree. |

| flag_-_variable_change_since_cmip6 | True |

| name | fx.lon |
| physical_parameter | lon (Longitude) |
| processing_note | Note that the CF convention and CMOR2 require that this field will be included in each file that contains a variable that is a function of the "site" dimension, so there is no need to save this field by itself. It is included here simply to indicate that longitudes should be stored for the site grid in each file written. CHANGE SINCE CMIP6: compound name, |
