[Esip-documentation] how to describe flag_values, flag_meanings in netCDF

[Armstrong, Edward M (398M) via Esip-documentation]

Preferably with underscores for human readability. Here is how GHRSST does it. You can find some practical examples in this doc:

Anna,

What Ted said and the flag_meanings content must be a blank-separated list
of phrases describing in the same order each flag_values value. Multi-word
phrases should be connected with one of: "_”, ".", "+","-“, and "@“.

Anna,


Number of items in each list must be equal...

Howdy All,
Is this the most appropriate way to describe flag_values, flag_meanings?


<attribute name="flag_values" value="0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7"/>
  <attribute name="flag_meanings" value="One or more measurements are
back filled from the spacecraft recorder, Packet time is in the future,
Packet time is older than the threshold"/>


Thanks in advance....
Anna
