There seem to be some mixture/confusion about standard_name and long_name here

standard_name is the most important attribute, and it has to be found in this table:
https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/current/build/cf-standard-name-table.html

long_name is less important, it is mainly to e.g. label axes, and is of human readable form, e.g. Significant wave height (and not sea_surface_wave_significant_height which would be the corresponding standard_name)

One will ideally have both standard_name and long_name, as they serve two different purposes (machine- and human readability, respectively), but if there exist no standard_name, one can use only long_name to at least make the variable human understandable, albeit not machine understandable.

Ok, thanks for the explanation about standard_name vs long_name - I will fix this after lunch :) .

I am already using the table https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/current/build/cf-standard-name-table.html , but I can have one more look :) .

Speaking about CF-convention, there is an upcoming workshop in Norrköping in two weeks:
https://cfconventions.org/Meetings/2024-Workshop.html#preliminary-agenda
I plan to follow some of the talks online.

Does this look better? :) Anything that you think should be updated further? :)

Thank you for your patience and explanations about the different attributes etc - I have always been confused about all of this / struggled to find a simple and short explanation, I think this is much clearer now, hopefully I now understand this correctly ^^ :) .

I added a couple of comments, but this looks otherwise fine.
I can merge when you are ready.

I think this should be ready to merge now :) . Thank you for the help, hope I got it right this time ^^ .
