Request for new GCMD platform keyword

[crdowney]

Hello,

Would you please add the new platform keyword below to the GCMD?

Short name: Auxiliary Data
Long name: Auxiliary Data
Hierarchy: Platforms > Other > Auxiliary Data

Definition: Data which enhance processing and utilization of remote sensing instrument data. The auxiliary data are not captured by the same data collection process as the instrument data. Auxiliary data include data collected by any other platform or process, preferably in georeferenced digital format. Auxiliary data help in data processing, but are also data sets in their own right; ancillary refers to data that exist purely to serve the data processing (e.g. orbit position and velocity).
