#74: Allow sharing of ancillary variables among multiple data variables ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: "ancillary data" "standard name modifiers" ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by jonathan): Dear Randy I would suggest doing this only for `status_flag` and `number_of_observations`, which are dimensionless. The others could potentially be described by `cell_methods`, but that would be the subject for another ticket. It would not be an improvement in metadata to omit the `standard_name` for the data variable. The `standard_name` is always an optional attribute, but it should be included whenever possible, I would say. However, I see your point.
