Dear Jonathan:
your suggestion is a good one. Note that I had proposed a similarly
structured standard name for cyclones that don't have eyes
(dvorak_tropical_cyclone_cloud_region_scene_type). I will revise that
standard_name proposal similarly.
Summarizing ...
standard_name:
scene_type_of_dvorak_tropical_cyclone_eye_region
definition:
The variable is a string, taking on of the following values to indicate
the Advanced Dvorak Technique tropical cyclone eye region scene type:
clear_ragged_or_obscured_eye, pinhole_eye, large_eye, or no_eye. For a
data variable, it is encoded as an integer using flag_values and
flag_meanings.
Canonical units: 1
very respectfully,
randy

The definition is clear but this string is such a long compound noun
phrase
that I fear it could be unintelligible to some. Would it be acceptable to
remodel it a bit? e.g. scene_type_of_dvorak_tropical_cyclone_eye_region
might
perhaps be easier to swallow.
Cheers
Jonathan
