Dear Leslie
"speed" is used for the scalar magnitude of a velocity. Existing standard
names use "velocity" with "upward" e.g. upward_air_velocity
and upward_sea_water_velocity
Best wishes

Subject: [CF-metadata] radiosonde ascent rate?

Dear List,
I am putting together a radiosonde dataset and trying hard to
stick with CF Standard Names. I have combed through the table (http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/current/build/cf-standard-name-table.html)
and this list's archives, but found nothing that would obviously
work as a name for the ascent rate of a radiosonde. At present, I
have taken the name " platform_speed_wrt_ground" and prefaced it
with "upward_", since there is horizontal motion w/r/to the ground
that is not considered in this variable.
Does anyone have an already legal suggestion for radiosonde ascent
rate? Should I request a new variable,
"upward_platform_speed_wrt_ground"?
