Hi all,

I'm in the process of reviewing proposals for level 2 product formats
(netcdf/cf) of some european cooperation. In the midst of this come the
question of satellite names.

It seems quite common here to interchange MSG2 with meteosat9 for
example, while only the latter is the commissioning name. So there is
often a mix between pre- and post-commissioning names in the documents I
read.

I know we haven't decided yet on any attributes, but maybe we could
start making some proposals to get things clearer.

So here is a first proposal for an attribute for satellite name:

"satellite": The name of the satellite after commissioning, with a "-"
character to separate series from number if needed. Eg: meteosat-9, goes-15

What do you think ?

Best regards,
Martin
