Thanks for the heads-up, that's very useful. We already deal with
encoding uncertainty data in some of our satellite products and are more
or less following this method. I certainly agree it should eventually
become a part of CF, in much the same way that one can encode means and
other standard statistical measures of a parameter.

Cheers,
