I see the status of the cloud_binary_mask
<http://cfeditor.ceda.ac.uk/proposal/568> has been in discussion since June
2013.
I would like to propose a decision be made upon this standard_name. It
would compliment the other X_binary_mask standard_names.
Term: *cloud_binary_mask*
Unit: 1
Unit ref: http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P061/current/UUUU
AMIP:
GRIB:
X_binary_mask has 1 where condition X is met, 0 elsewhere. 1 = cloud
present, 0 = cloud absent (clear).
Thank you for your consideration,
Heather
