Class: NonMeasuredVariable

A contextual or ancillary variable that is NOT directly measured or calculated by the project. Use for identifiers (Cruise_ID, Exp_ID), timestamps (Year_UTC, Time_UTC), coordinates (Latitude, Longitude), and any other data included in the dataset for context. Do NOT create a NonMeasuredVariable for quality control flag columns — instead, set dataset_variable_name_qc_flag on the parent measured or calculated variable that the flag relates to. variable_type must be "non_measured".
