@sjboeing I've been thinking about this work and I would like to get it into our fork. I was thinking that I could make the functionality opt-in rather than default. That way it wouldn't change default behaviour, but if someone asks for units, longname attributes etc they could enable this.

Specifically when enabled it would require that for all scalar fields it is defined: 1) what grid the variable exists on (staggered or non-staggered in each dimension), 2) what the units of the field are and 3) what the "longname" of the field is (and optionally the "standard_name" can be provided too.

Thoughts?
