Philip,

Yes, that's exactly what I am asking for. Based on my review of the mailing list, it appears that such a name is not automatically considered valid. NCDC is producing netCDF files that contain brightness temperature anomalies, so I'd like to have this added as a valid standard name.

I had originally assumed that adding _anomaly to a base standard name would be a valid thing to do, but I can't find any support for this. Am I missing something?

Grace and peace,

Jim

Hi Jim,

To clarify your request:

'anomaly' currently means 'difference from climatology' in CF.  Is that what 
you want here?

If so, then this would seem to be a logical extension to brightness_temperature.

Best wishes,

       Philip
