Sometimes these instruments are also flown on aircraft, so do we want to hardwire 'satellite' into the standard_name?
Yes, that is the reason why I went with "instrument_".
It is a bit of a mouthful, but would 'remote_sensing_instrument_' work?
I am fine with "remote_sensing_instrument_" if using just "instrument" is deemed too generic. I thought that combining "instrument" with "zenith/azimuth/scan" terms is enough to indicate what kind of instrument is in question.
