EPIC (NOAA, PMEL) Units
Example of units used in operational system (units are encoded in variable key, used in netCDF entries).
The EPIC program developed a key file describing all its variables using a numeric code. This code is then encoded into the netCDF file, and includes various attributes for each parameter, including that parameter's units. Thus, the second column of the EPIC key file contains all the units used in the program.
More a working example than an authoritative list of units, but useful to give an idea of the needs of operational programs.
