Dear all,I am quite new to netCDF file format, so please excuse me if my question is not appropriate to this list. I am compiling a dataset with several climatological variables. One of them is the diurnal temperature range (DTR). I think that the obvious way to describe this data would be similar to the maximum or minimum temperature, using a cell_methods attribute and a standard_name attribute for the temperature variable. The problem is that the list of cell_methods in appendix E does not include an entry for the 'range' as the absolute difference between the maximum and the minimum (it has, however, an option to describe the mid_range, as the average of these two values). My question is: is there a workaround to describe this data? or should I just forget about the standard_name attribute and choose a representative long_name for my data?
Thank you, Chema
