[CF-metadata] standard names for variables in 'raw?engineering' units

Dear All,

I think the way CF use is developing in the observational community means we certainly need raw measurement standard names.

Cheers, Roy.

Dear all,
I agree with Jonathan,
I would propose a short suffix like '_raw'.
Are the units free selectable for the '_raw' data? Should we add 'raw_unit'?
I think the raw data are a proxy. This should be commented in the header.

Best wishes
Heinke
