Dear Mike

There isn't any procedure except writing to the email list, as you have done.
However as increasing numbers of names are being needed, this is becoming too
slow. We need automatic procedures and more people to work on it! These issues
will be discussed at a meeting the British Atmospheric Data Centre is hosting
in June of GO-ESSP (go-essp.gfdl.noaa.gov).

I'm glad you found most of what you need.

I think sea_water_pressure (canonical units Pa) is fine.

Could you say more about ADCP measured acoustic echo intensity? What units
does it have? I would think that the physical quantity that should be given
a standard name is the acoustic echo intensity because presumably it is
applicable to other sonar devices as well.

Thanks. Best wishes

Jonathan
