#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 Nan Replying to [comment:34 ngalbraith]: > Also, we might want to consider allowing all 4 of the existing modifiers to have standard names (or category names, as was suggested earlier), as long as they are applied to primary data variables that share units. There could easily be a single detection_minimum, and maybe also a single standard_error, for e.g. wind or current vectors. I don't think we can do that, because a given standard name must have unique canonical units. We couldn't define the canonical unit for detection_minimum or standard_error, since they depend on the geophysical quantity, as you imply.
