Dear Jonathan,

As a summary of our discussion, I will use :
direction_of_radial_vector_away_from_instrument (*)
radial_sea_water_velocity_away_from_instrument (*)
radial_sea_water_velocity_away_from_instrument standard_error
radial_sea_water_velocity_away_from_instrument status_flag (which also
applies to direction_of_radial_vector_away_from_instrument)
eastward_sea_water_velocity
eastward_sea_water_velocity standard_error
northward_sea_water_velocity
northward_sea_water_velocity standard_error
sea_water_speed status_flag (which applies to both
east|northward_sea_water_velocity, as suggested by Nan)
eastward_sea_water_velocity_assuming_no_tide (*)
northward_sea_water_velocity_assuming_no_tide (*)

The standard names with a (*) are new. Can I expect them to be added in
the next release of standard name table ?

Should I submit this subject on the CF trac site ?



Thanks for your help
