I think you have to keep in mind that the proposal is to use the long
name for human selection, and the variable name for machine selection.
If you look at this:
float Temperature(time=1, lat=361, lon=720);
vs
float VAR_0-0-0_L6_I6_Hour_S194(time=1, lat=361, lon=720);
:long_name = "Temperature (6_Hour Average) @ Maximum wind level";
I think you see that the long name is better at conveying all the info a
human needs.
I agree that the long_name should contain the most descriptive form of
the variable. However, I think that a shortened form of this which has
been available in 4.2 and the earlier version of 4.3 can convey just as
much information. Doesn't the attached list that you sent me convey all
the information in VAR_0-0-0_L6_I6_Hour_S194 + attributes?
So the subset service, the dods html page, and all other UIs will want
to change to that. So the answer is that Hal must serve both we the
humans, and our overlords, the machines, who, I for one, welcome ;^)
And, therein lies the problem. ;-)
PS: The VAR names might change, but only when we spectacularly
misunderstand the GRIB spec, eg like we did for time intervals. They
will be impervious to the minor changes that the tables go through.
How often do the tables change? Daily, monthly, yearly? I share Glenn's
perspective that the rate of change is slow and mostly in local
variations of the tables. Do the CFSR tables change continually?
PPS: We are going to move this discussion to a new list or something, to
minimize the spam.
Isn't it best to get input from all the users?
