[CF-metadata] standard_name for coordinate variable corresponding to complex parts (real and imaginary)

I am sorry, you misunderstand me: I am looking for the standard_name
to label the coordinate variable that corresponds to real and
imaginary parts, not the non-coordinate-variable that has real and
imaginary parts.

For example, If I had a Fourier transform of 3d air_pressure, it
would be a real function of C,freq,lon,lat, where

air_pressure has standard_name air_pressure,

lon has standard_name longitude,
lat has standard_name latitude,
freq has standard_name frequency, i.e. inverse time, and
C has standard_name complex_parts
