Lewis John McGibbney commented on CLIMATE-753:
----------------------------------------------

As it turns out, we are already using the long description as per the following code in ocw-ui/frontend/app/views/selectrcmed.html 
{code}
      <div class="row top3">
        <select ng-change="dataSelectUpdated()" class="form-control" ng-model="datasetSelection" ng-options="obs as obs.longname for obs in availableObs"></select>
      </div>
{code}
I am going to contact the RCMES team as not only are the dataset long names very... short, several of the datasets don't even have parameters that you can choose to evalluate or analyze! This is the case with the following

 * ERA-Interim
 * AIRS
 * MODIS
 * CRU3.0
 * ceres
 * CRU3.1
 * uni_delaware
 * NARR
 * RHEAS1 deg monthly-mean land evaporation
 * IMD monthly rain gauge analysis over India
 * ESA

Of the few of the datasets that do have parameters which we can select, several of them only have one parameter!!!

> Within the webapp, when you are prompted to "Select the RCMED dataset that you would like use." from the RCMED Datset Select panel, the Dataset ID's are extremely vague. 
> An improvement would be to display a more verbose title rather than acronyms or abbreviations. I'll attach a screenshot to display what I am referring to.
