That statement should serve as a last resort option when no other information about the reference direction can be found. Stating a reference direction in the name could lead to a proliferation of such standard names. I am not sure if that is desirable. A comment attribute looks to me like a good approach. -Aleksandar _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list CF-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
