 Dear Jonathan:

 I think I understand where you are going.  So, when you say "It is allowed
 to omit the dimension and include instead the standard name of the
 dimension in cell_methods.",  would the syntax for the variable containing
 the standard deviation of temperature look like the following (I took the
 liberty of changing the name of the standard deviation variable and I am
 assuming the standard_name in your example for "measurement" is "depth")?

 variables:
   float std_dev_temp;
     temp:standard_name="sea_water_temperature";

     temp:units="K";

     temp:cell_methods="depth: standard_deviation";

 Also, is it correct to assume there is an ancillary_variables attribute
 set to "std_dev_temp" in the temp variable ?

 very respectfully,

 randy
