Hi all,
While working with cloud products extracted from weather satellite data,
we would like to add the following standard names. Tell us what you think!
Best regards,
Martin
"cloud_mask"
Description: A variable with the standard name of cloud_mask contains
strings which indicate whether it is cloudy or not, also classes like
partly_cloudy is allowed. These strings have not been standardised.
Alternatively, the data variable may contain integers which can be
translated to strings using flag_values and flag_meanings attributes.
Units: 1
"aerosol_mask"
Description: A variable with the standard name of aerosol_mask contains
strings which indicate whether there are aerosols present or not. These
strings have not been standardised. Alternatively, the data variable may
contain integers which can be translated to strings using flag_values
and flag_meanings attributes.
Units: 1
"cloud_type"
Description: A variable with the standard name of cloud_type contains
strings which indicate the type of cloud e.g. low_level_cloud or
thin_cirrus. These strings have not been standardised. Alternatively,
the data variable may contain integers which can be translated to
strings using flag_values and flag_meanings attributes.
Units: 1
"probability_of_precipitation_in_an_intensity_interval"
Description: "probability_of_X" means the chance that X is true or of at
least one occurrence of X.
For probability_of_precipitation_in_an_intensity_interval, this means
the chance (in percent) that the precipitation intensity is in the
defined interval. The interval (from x mm/h to y mm/h) should be
described in attribute description. Usually two or more variables of
this type are combined, for adjacent intervals.
