I am also trying to get real tme buoy measurements into a
cf-compliant netcdf format.

Can you tell me if you have selected CF-style "standard names"
for shortwave and longwave measurements? What about precipitaion
sensors?

I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out which of the many
radiaiton names will work, as I don't have a measured angle
of radiation for these sensors. As far as precipitaion, I like
to retain the rain gauge level, which is in mm, but this seems
to make the CF-checker unhappy.

Thanks -
