Dear CF Board,

I would like to propose a new standard name,
dvorak_tropical_cyclone_current_intensity_number.

Units: Dimensionless

Definition: ?Dvorak current intensity number? means the ranking ( 1 to
8) of tropical cyclone strength derived using the Advanced Dvorak
Technique based on satellite observations, which has been empirically
related to maximum sustained 1-minute wind speed and mean sea level
atmospheric pressure.

Sincerely,

Gary
