Dear Alison, dear all,
Back in September, I suggested the addition of new standard names
"geostrophic_eastward_sea_water_velocity" and
"geostrophic_northward_sea_water_velocity" (see
http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2016/059015.html).
There have been quite a few updates of the tables since, but those names
are not included yet. Is there anything I could/should do to get them
included?
In April, there were also discussions on the inclusion of wave standard
names. The height parameters have been included in table v35 in July.
But the others (mostly period and direction) are still "under
discussion" on the "CF proposal page". Any news on that topic?
Regards,
Elodie
