Thanks Kyle. I’m happy taking guidance from this template, but the time series 
example there seems very dense. It is far more complex than the NOAA NDBC data 
I’ve worked with and yet provides no simple answers to my questions about the 
station number and name. Either 9414290 or San Francisco is the name of a shack 
and so probably insufficient to uniquely define the data set without additional 
specification of a variable or instrument. Is there an example (header is fine) 
of how this might be applied to simple PORTS data?

I would encourage you to follow the NCEI NetCDF templates:

I have scalar time series from USGS and NOAA, both of which use an integer code 
9414290 and a readable name “San Francisco, CA”.

Any suggestions how to list them both and which is preferred for timeseries_id? 
Can anyone give me an example of what typically goes in “station_info”, 
something that is in many of the examples but not with any kind of serious 
content … the examples are just “any kind of station info”.

Thanks. I realize there must be a standard answer or example, but I can’t seem 
to find them.
