Re: [CF-metadata] Platform Heave

2018-09-12 Thread Kenneth Kehoe
Jim's definitions work for me. I don't think we need to state the roll, 
pitch and yaw need to be in angles. The Standard Name table conical 
units indicate that. As for the order of the definitions I don't think 
we have a standard that has been strictly enforced, and no matter what 
order we put them in someone will prefer a different order.

Hi again -

Nice, thanks, Jim.

My only suggestion, after a very quick read-through, is that we could
put the definition of platform at the end of the variable's definition.

Or, maybe the definition of platform could come somewhere before the 
definition
of starboard. Anywhere but at the start, unless there's a need for it 
to be there that

I am missing.

Also, do the definitions of roll, pitch and yaw need to explicitly 
state that these are
angles, or is it enough that that's in the canonical units for these 
variables (and implied

by '"rotation about an axis")?

platform_roll_starboard_down: Roll is an angle of rotation about an 
axis that is perpendicular to
the local vertical axis and is co-planar with the nominal forward 
motion direction of a platform.
Roll is relative to the "at rest" rotation of the platform with 
respect to the axis of rotation. The "at rest"
rotation of the platform may change over time. A platform is a 
structure or vehicle that serves as a
base for mounting sensors. Platforms include, but are not limited to, 
satellites, aeroplanes, ships,
buoys, ground stations, and masts. "Starboard down" indicates that 
positive values of roll represent
the right side of the platform falling as viewed by an observer on top 
of the platform facing forward.
