The draft version 1.6 of the CF Conventions manual recommends use of two standard names which don't exist yet but are needed to describe discrete data such as observations from stations or other discrete points. So I'd like to propose the following two standard names:

- station_description : variable of character type containing a description of a time series station - wmo_platform_id : variable of integer type, containing the WMO identifier of an observing station or other platform

- Jeff Painter
