Dear All:

I would like to request the following standard_names that are related to trac 
item #74  Allow sharing of ancillary variables among multiple data variables

(1)

number_of_observations

A variable with the standard name of number_of_observations contains the number 
of discrete observations or measurements from which the values of  another data 
variable have been derived.  The linkage between the data variable and the 
variable with a standard_name of number_of_observations is achieved using the 
ancillary_variables attribute.

This is a dimensionless quantity (canonical units = 1).


(2)

status_flag

A variable with the standard name of status_flag contains an indication of 
quality or other status of another data variable.  The linkage between the data 
variable and the variable with the standard_name of status_flag is achieved 
using the ancillary_variables attribute.

This is a dimensionless quantity (canonical units = 1).



very respectfully,


randy
