Dear CF Board, I would like to propose the following standard name.
Standard Name: radius_of_tropical_cyclone_central_dense_overcast_region Dimensions: meter Definition: The average radius of a central region of clouds in tropical cyclones lacking well-defined eye features. The radius is computed by averaging the great circle distance in four cardinal directions from the estimated storm center position to pixels within 300km, where cloud top brightness temperature first exceeds -30 Celsius.
