Dear Tomoo,
I am open to making the distinction between slow and fast falling
precipitation. But let me push back just a little.
I see no physical distinction between the fast and slow falling, other than
characteristic timescales. It is a continuum, and both can evaporate on the
way down.
I'm in favor of a generalized system for automatically constructing new
standard names by applying quantifiers to established ones. In fact, when I
first encountered the Guidelines for Construction of CF Standard Names, I
thought that's what it *was*, and it took me a while to understand that you

Christina,
I assume you meant "1" for the unit specification rather than "!".

Dear all,
Here's what the CF conventions say about dimensionless quantities:
"Units are not required for dimensionless quantities. A variable with no
units attribute is assumed to be dimensionless. However, a units
attribute specifying a dimensionless unit may optionally be included.
The Udun
Everyone,
The UDUNITS packages (both UDUNITS and UDUNITS-2) interpret the empty
string (i.e., "") as the dimensionless unit 1 -- so if you can't use
"1", then use "" (assuming you pass that string to the UDUNITS library).
The udunits(1) and udunits2(1) programs, however, interpret the empty

That seems a good reason for using your word sedimentation and adding

Dear All,
I've made a couple of fixes to the CF checker:
1) If the variable is deemed unitless, then the checker will not flag an
error if either units=1 or the units attribute is omitted.
2) Fix bug where the checker was incorrectly complaining about a missing
units attribute on some dimens
