Aleksander et al:
I have a question ... This email addresses 3) below ... 3) The names in green also did not receive any comment so far but I changed them based on the recent discussion about handling spectral radiance with its incompatible units. For example, instead of "spectral_radiance" in names is replaced with "radiance_per_unit_wavenumber" and "radiance_per_unit_wavelength". Conversion between radiance_per_unit_wavenumber and radiance_per_unit_wavelength can be done without any additional information (There is a simple mathematical relationship between wavenumber and wavelength). Here is an excerpt from the CF standard: canonical units Representative units of the physical quantity. Unless it is dimensionless, a variable with a standard_name attribute must have units which are physically equivalent (not necessarily identical) to the canonical units. Given the simple conversion between these two quantities, is there really a need for two standard_names ? very respectfully, randy From: "Aleksandar Jelenak - NOAA Affiliate" <aleksandar.jele...@noaa.gov> Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 2:12 PM To: "cf-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu" <cf-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu> Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] New Standard Names for Satellite Data Dear all, I think the names I proposed back in November last year have reached the business end of the acceptance process. For your convenience they are gathered in one place: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Standard_Names_For_Satellite_Observations# Proposal_.232 The proposed names are color-coded into three categories: 1) Those names that did not receive any comment and are unchanged since being proposed are in gray. 2) The names that did receive comments and had been changed in response are in blue. No further comments for several weeks now. 3) The names in green also did not receive any comment so far but I changed them based on the recent discussion about handling spectral radiance with its incompatible units. For example, instead of "spectral_radiance" in names is replaced with "radiance_per_unit_wavenumber" and "radiance_per_unit_wavelength". I am not aware of any outstanding issues to discuss. Based on this, I think these names are ready to be accepted and would appreciate if someone would report at what stage of the process they are. -Aleksandar _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list CF-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
