Dear CF-community,
for using CF-conventions in CEOP (http://www.ceop.net/) there is a need
for new standard names.
The proposed names and units:

For UKMO:
- energy_in_air; m2 s-2
- sum_of_kinetic_energy_and_enthalpy_in_air; m2 m-2
- kinetic_energy_in_air; m2 s-2

- height_at_convective_cloud_base; m
- height_at_convective_cloud_top; m

for NCEP:
- tendency_of_specific_humidity_due_to_advection; kg kg-1 sec-1
- tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_advection; K s-1
-
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_cloud_condensed_water_in_air_due_to_advection;
s-1
- ice_area_fraction; 1
- sea_land_ice_area_fraction; 1
        (sea 0 land 1 ice 2 fraction)
- mass_fraction_of_cloud_condensed_water_in_air; 1
- vegetation_type; 1

for Reference Sites:
- surface_net_upward_radiative_flux
for incoming Photosynthetic Active Radiation:
- surface_downwelling_photosynthetic_photon_flux_in_air; mole m-2 s-1
for outgoing Photosynthetic Active Radiation:
- surface_upwelling_photosynthetic_photon_flux_in_air; mole m-2 s-1
- carbon_dioxide_flux; mole m-2 s-1
- soil_moisture; % (volumetric water content)

for JMA:
- eastward_water_vapor_flux_in_air; kg m-2 s-1
- northward_water_vapor_flux_in_air; kg m-2 s-1
- soil_porosity; 1

for BMRC:
- total_dry_energy_content_of_atmosphere_layer; J m-2
- tendency_of_total_dry_energy_of_atmosphere_layer; W m-2
- tendency_of_water_vapor_of_atmosphere_layer_due_to_convection; kg m-2
s-1
- atmosphere_dry_energy_content; J m-2
- tendency_of_atmosphere_water_vapor_content_due_to_convection; kg m-2 s-1
- tendency_of_atmosphere_energy_content; W m-2
- tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content; kg m-2 s-1
- tendency_of_atmosphere_water_vapor_content; kg m-2 s-1
- atmosphere_eastward_water_vapor_flux_content; kg m-2 s-1
- atmosphere_northward_water_vapor_flux_content; kg m-2 s-1
- sum_of_kinetic_energy_and_enthalpy_content_of_atmosphere_layer; J m-2
- surface_moisture; kg m-2
- tendency_of_water_vapor_in_atmosphere_layer; kg m-2 s-1
- eastward_energy_flux_in_air; W m-1
- upward_energy_flux_in_air; W m-1
- northward_energy_flux_in_air; W m-1
- eastward_mass_flux_in_air; kg m-1 s-1
- northward_mass_flux_in_air; kg m-1 s-1
- upward_mass_flux_in_air; kg m-1 s-1
- eastward_water_vapor_flux_in_air; kg m-1 s-1
- northward_water_vapor_flux_in_air; kg m-1 s-1


Thanks for your help,
