There is also a 'station_name' as recommended attribute in a discrete
geometries section, see
http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.6/aphs02.html/
and even more info on the station (like station_info anf station_elevation) in
the Example H.3. Timeseries of station data

Isn't this part of the NetCDF Attribute Convention for Dataset Discovery?
I'm not sure we want to wander into that territory - wouldn't it be better
to recommend the use of the NACDD?
Also, the WMO platform id may seem like a definitive id, but, as I

good point - The auxiliary coordinate variable station_name in these
examples is missing a standard_name; and indeed station_description

both.
For that matter, if one of the stations in the examples ha
Hi.
I would like to request a new standard name. The name is

Hi Jim,
To clarify your request:
'anomaly' currently means 'difference from climatology' in CF. Is that what
you want here?
If so, then this would seem to be a logical extension to brightness_temperature.
Best wishes,
Philip

Philip,
Yes, that's exactly what I am asking for. Based on my review of the
mailing list, it appears that such a name is not automatically
considered valid. NCDC is producing netCDF files that contain
brightness temperature anomalies, so I'd like to have this added as a
valid standard name.
Hi Jim,
Under current CF procedure, every new std_name must be individually approved.
There are proposals to change this, but nothing has changed yet.
Fortunately, your proposed std_name is a grammatically consistent combination
of existing std_names, so I don't expect any objections. In such

That seems fine to me. As Philip says, it follows an existing pattern.
It is likely that Alison, the manager of standard names, is on holiday
at present.
Best wishes

Dear Colleagues,
I guess you are talking about five-digit number to identify stations in
SYNOP or TEMP.
Please note that the number is called "station index number" in WMO.
There are several other systems of symbol to identify observation platforms
in WMO:
- moored and fixed buoys have differe
