Dear Benno and John
The CF convention also provides cell_methods, which is an attribute of the
data variable, to indicate how the data values are descriptive of the variation
within cells (instantaneous, mean, integral, etc.). This information is an
important complement to the coordinate

Dear Nan
I didn't suggest that everyone should use the centre-time for their time-
coordinates. I suggested that the centre-time should be the recommended choice
if there was no other clear way of deciding what was appropriate.
As Benno mentioned, some instruments - not just old current meters,
Hi Sara:
Thanks for adding your example to the mix. This appears to be a timeseries at a
single x,y location with all the measurements on single, but different levels
(?)
Because these are single level, I would be inclined to use a variation of the station
representation. One possibility is
Dear Alison,
Thank you for posting this old subject again. I re-read through the names,
definitions and units and do not wish to modify them as they suit my needs and,
I think, those of my community. As you noted, they are built upon the existing
'sea_ice_velocity' standard names, which makes
Thank you Jonathan
when the list of names is ready, I will submit it to the mailing
list. I saw the guidelines for construction of the standard names.
Cheers
Emanuele

While the Point observational conventions document is undergoing final review,
I want to initiate a discussion on a complementary topic - Swath observational
conventions. This model addresses satellite observational measurements and
potentially airborne measurements.
