Dear Jeff

I think this one is fine

For this one
> - station_description : variable of character type containing a
> description of a time series station
I now wonder what we mean by "description". What is probably expected is a
geographical location of some sort, isn't it. Could we call it station_name?
Like long_name and standard_name, it could still be several words.

Best wishes

Jonathan
