Sorry, I forgot to change the subject line when I sent this the first time.
Hi all -
We're now perusing the canonical units in the CF standard
name table, and one of the OceanSITES data managers noticed
another slight problem for us.

If one checks the standard names in CF, *relative_humidity* has

I can't find any documentation for why this isn't 'percent'. Unlike
practical salinity, I think there's general acceptance, within the
relevant science disciplines, that relative humidity is a percent. The
CF definition doesn't include any text on this subject. Does this happen
to be because 'percent' isn't clear enough - whether it's by volume or
weight?
Any thoughts?
Thanks -
Nan
