Folks:   the GOES-R ground system generates a derived motion winds product. 
 Accompaning each wind speed & direction in the product is the amount of 
error associated withe the vector.  This error is not a standard_error, but 
an error estimate based on a custom algorithm.   Because this is not a 
standard_error, it would seem that using a standard_error standard_name 
modifier would be misleading.   Any thoughts on how to represent this 
product-specific error in the NetCDF file ? (The best idead I could come up 
with so far is to establish an ancillary data relationwhip between the wind 
speed/direction variables and the error variable, and use the error 
variable's long_name to describe the error)     very respectfully,   randy
