Currently attributes e.g., 'long_name', 'units' are not present for computed data arrays. Need to add attributes at the end of computation functions.

Priority for the Level2 data fields than the intermediate L1 products

Long name should be just 'Current Velocity' rather than the current long names. Units without parentheses.

Revisit all dataarrays

Look in to differences between 'long_name', 'standard_name' etc and their impact on plotting.

Perhaps a new attribute field with the description in it?

DavidMcCann-NOC commented 1 year ago

Attributes to be standardized in the following format:

['long_name'] = Short title for plotting purposes, e.g., 'Radial surface current'
['description'] = Long title, e.g., 'Radial Surface Current (RSC) along antenna beam direction, corrected for Wind Artifact Surface Velocity (WASV)'
['units'] = units in SI format as a str, without brackets. e.g., 'm/s'
