The standard-name local token of this input's physical quantity (the same quantity the referenced sidecar carries in standard_name), e.g. air_temperature, relative_humidity, wind_speed, surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air.
Tier: conditionally_core
Why this slot matters
Without a named role, a consumer cannot tell which physical quantity each referenced input supplied to the equation, so inputs cannot be matched to equation terms and cross-input consistency checks cannot run.
In plain terms
This labels what each ingredient actually is — temperature versus humidity versus wind — using a shared standard vocabulary so that machines and people read the label the same way.
