Philip,
Yes, that's exactly what I am asking for. Based on my review of the
mailing list, it appears that such a name is not automatically
considered valid. NCDC is producing netCDF files that contain
brightness temperature anomalies, so I'd like to have this added as a
valid standard name.
I had originally assumed that adding _anomaly to a base standard name
would be a valid thing to do, but I can't find any support for this. Am
I missing something?
Grace and peace,
Jim
