From your original post, I assumed "standard_name" was an attribute. Do you mean that it
is actually the variable name? If so, then, no, you can't have two variables with the same
name.

As you have already figured out, names of air_temperature_below_canopy and
air_temperature_above_canopy will work (assuming you don't other field-accepted names for
those quantities.)

We all write wet[1] code at some point, and there are no stupid questions[2] :o)

[2] some could be considered asinine I guess; but your questions do not fall into that
category. :o)
