Hi Aleksander, I used 'repeat' to capture the concept that the interval is from one measurement until the time the measurement is repeated (in the same location) I can imagine many other types of intervals, eg interval between measurement at wavelength1 and wavelength2 when using a filter wheel

Hi Alexsandar, My initial instinctive guess at the meaning of time_interval was that it would be the time interval over which a measurement was averaged (which CF has other means for encoding). My second guess was that it was encoding the time between one observation in a time series and the ne

Aleksandar, Thank-you for the clarification. As John said, with the diagram, everything becomes clear. But I fear I have no good suggestion on the way to name this parameter. Spontaneously, I would say something like "azimuth_of_sensor_seen_from_observed_point", but, clearly, this doesn't f

Great questions, John, glad you've started this conversation! We're using the platform terms for some of the variables from current meters and profilers deployed on surface moorings, so our needs may be different from the satellite people. Personally, I'd like to see the 'orientation' standard na

Hello Aleksandar, I've seen some files which did such duplication, even if they haven't been CF-compliant. If it doesn't need to be machine-readable, you can put that information where-ever you want and you don't need a standard_name for that. But I can only give a warning for duplication: T
