Dear Jonathan:
  
 your suggestion is a good one.  Note that I had proposed a similarly 
structured standard name for cyclones that don't have eyes 
(dvorak_tropical_cyclone_cloud_region_scene_type).  I will revise that 
standard_name proposal similarly.
  
 Summarizing ...
  
 standard_name:
 scene_type_of_dvorak_tropical_cyclone_eye_region
  
 definition:
 The variable is a string, taking on of the following values to indicate 
the Advanced Dvorak Technique tropical cyclone eye region scene type: 
clear_ragged_or_obscured_eye, pinhole_eye, large_eye, or no_eye.  For a 
data variable, it is encoded as an integer using flag_values and 
flag_meanings.
  
 Canonical units: 1
  
  
 very respectfully,
  
 randy

The definition is clear but this string is such a long compound noun 
phrase
that I fear it could be unintelligible to some. Would it be acceptable to
remodel it a bit? e.g. scene_type_of_dvorak_tropical_cyclone_eye_region 
might
perhaps be easier to swallow.

Cheers

Jonathan
