Dear Jonathan, and all,
I need to creat a netcdf with 3 variable.

   CHL: chloropyll(nx,ny)
   CHL_error: the standard deviation (nx,ny)
   Chl_count: aNumer of Observation (nx,ny)

Following the section 3.4 of the CF standard, I undestood that

- for standard deviation variable I must set its standard name:=
"standard_error"
- for the number of obseration, I must set its standard name as
"number_of_observations".

BUT THE CH CHECKER SAYS THAT MY NETCDF IS NOT CF COMPLIANT, THAT
STANDARD NAME (number_of_observations, standard_error) ARE NOT OK.

SURELY I HAVEN'T UNDERSTOOD HOW TO USE STANDARD_NAME MODIFIERS.

MAY YOU HELP ME?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

CRISTINA
