[CF-metadata] ... wind speed

Hi again,

   more on the CASTNET data. They provide
15,WINDSPEED,m/sec,"Vector wind speed; m/sec.",NUMBER,"16,4",
and
23,WINDSPEED_SCALAR,m/sec,"Scalar wind speed; m/sec.",NUMBER,"16,4",

   The first appears to be a vector average = sqrt( mean(u)**2 + mean(v)**2 )
   the second is = mean( sqrt(u**2 + v**2) )

   Are both tied to "wind_speed" as standard_name and should they differ in the cell_method attribute?

Cheers,

Martin
