Hi, I am new to the CF standard and came across this issue when I was looking for suitable standard names for my data in the latest standard table, bt could not find one. I have data from temperature sensors from three places: on the earth surface, at 30cm and 200cm.
While I agree with @taylor13, that using the high information is likely the best way to describe the quality of the `air_tempature` data at 30cm and 200cm, I am actually missing a `landsurface_temperature` or `skin_temperature` variable for the temperature measured on the ground. The `air_temperature` definition, explicitly excludes the surface / skin, it says: "Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature." So, it does not feel right to use `air_temperature` as a variable name here.... But I could not find `skin_temperature` or `land_surface_temperature` as a variable (although the latter is frequently used in remote sensing).... So, in essence, I would also like to see surface layer variables too... -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
