Dear All:
I would like to request the following standard_names that are related to trac item #74 Allow sharing of ancillary variables among multiple data variables
(1)
number_of_observations
A variable with the standard name of number_of_observations contains the number of discrete observations or measurements from which the values of another data variable have been derived. The linkage between the data variable and the variable with a standard_name of number_of_observations is achieved using the ancillary_variables attribute.
This is a dimensionless quantity (canonical units = 1).
(2)
status_flag
A variable with the standard name of status_flag contains an indication of quality or other status of another data variable. The linkage between the data variable and the variable with the standard_name of status_flag is achieved using the ancillary_variables attribute.
This is a dimensionless quantity (canonical units = 1).
very respectfully,
randy
