2012-01-31 Thread Andy Taylor
Hello all. I'd agree that choosing available standard names for tide gauge related data hasn't been obvious. My comment is that tide level is a special type of vertical reference datum but one that that isn't unique. For example, subtracting a published tide prediction from observation data is

[CF-metadata] [lc-cci] proposal for new CF standard names for land cover observation and classification

2012-01-31 Thread Martin Boettcher
Dear CF maintainers, we would like to propose a few new standard names, a new set of values for the standard name 'land_cover', and standard name modifiers. The names are proposals for variables used by the climate change initiative of the European Space Agency for the essential climate variab

Dear All, Thanks for all your responses. I think that the best solution so far is to use the existing "sea_surface_height_correction_due_to_air_pressure_and_wind_at_high_frequency", even if I'm quite unsure about the "_at_high_frequency" part... (I'm still waiting an answer of our scientists a
