Dear Gary, I like your newer names better. I have not looked at how CF tends to name variables that combine to form other variables. Maybe they have a standard practice? If not, I recommend permuting your formula so that names proceed with increasing level of detail: Standard name: fire_X_area

Dear Charlie, I am certainly open to breaking out the names according to fire type. The driver behind my proposed standard names is the GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 fire algorithm. Specifically, the ABI is incapable of discriminating between different types of fire. I am new

Dear Gary This is a follow-up email to my note of 18 November in which I proposed standard names to fire area, fire temperature, and fire radiative power. Are there any opinions to what I have proposed below? They look fine to me. Cheers Jonathan

My qualm about these names Standard Name: fire_area Standard_Name: fire_temperature Standard_Name: fire_radiative_power is there potential ambiguity as to fire type. Researchers now separately detect and/or estimate both active and smouldering fires. Is it worth breaking-out your names by fire

Dear Jonathan Also note that fire in each name refers to all kinds of fires (e.g. grassland, forest, etc.). I didn't specifically state this in the definition but could if people feel that it would help to clarify. Yes, I think it would help. Does it include anthropogenic combustion e.g.

Dear CF board: I would like to propose three new standard names. All three of these names are fire-related quantities that will be data products produced by the future GOES-R satellite platform. I'm putting all three of these names in one post since they are related to one another and have
