Hello,

Is there any general rule for the construction of standard names for errors and uncertainties ?

Thanks a lot,

Right now, errors and uncertainties are done with the standard name modifier standard_error, see Appendix C. There is work on a netCDF uncertainty section as far as I know that work is ongoing.
