One clarification on the units of this proposed standard name, and that
is that the units should be
Kelvin, not Celsius.
Thanks and regards,
Gary

Dear Jonathan,
Just to summarize, then, the proposed standard name would thus be
tropical_cyclone_eye_brightness_temperature
Units: Celsius
Definition:
"tropical_cyclone_eye_brightness_temperature" means the warmest
brightness temperature value in the eye region
of a tropical cyclone (0 - 24 km from the storm center) derived using
the Advanced Dvorak Technique, based on
satellite observations.
Thanks and regards,
Gary

Dear Gary
It is actually the pixel with the warmest brightness temperature as
measured in a single IR band.
Beyond that, I do not think that one could specifically identify it
as SST, air temperature, etc.
OK. It would be all right, and more informative, to say
brightness_temperature
in your new name. brightness_temperature is an existing stdname.
Cheers
Jonathan
