Lewis John McGibbney commented on CLIMATE-753:
----------------------------------------------
As it turns out, we are already using the long description as per the following
code in ocw-ui/frontend/app/views/selectrcmed.html
{code}
<div class="row top3">
<select ng-change="dataSelectUpdated()" class="form-control"
ng-model="datasetSelection" ng-options="obs as obs.longname for obs in
availableObs"></select>
</div>
{code}
I am going to contact the RCMES team as not only are the dataset long names
very... short, several of the datasets don't even have parameters that you can
choose to evalluate or analyze! This is the case with the following
* ERA-Interim
* AIRS
* MODIS
* CRU3.0
* ceres
* CRU3.1
* uni_delaware
* NARR
* RHEAS1 deg monthly-mean land evaporation
* IMD monthly rain gauge analysis over India
* ESA
Of the few of the datasets that do have parameters which we can select, several
of them only have one parameter!!!
> RCMED dataset descriptions need to be more verbose

> Within the webapp, when you are prompted to "Select the RCMED dataset that
> you would like use." from the RCMED Datset Select panel, the Dataset ID's are
> extremely vague.
> An improvement would be to display a more verbose title rather than acronyms
> or abbreviations. I'll attach a screenshot to display what I am referring to.
