Here are some names I'd like to propose for acoustic measurements:
frequency: s-1 : inverse of period
sound_intensity_in_air: W m-2
sound_pressure_in_air: Pa
sound_intensity_level_in_air: dB : decibels referenced to a sound intensity of 10-12 W m-2.
sound_pressure_level_in_air: dB : decibels referenced to a sound pressure of = 2 ? 10-5 Pa.
sound_intensity_in_water: W m-2
sound_pressure_in_water: Pa
sound_intensity_level_in_water: dB : decibels referenced to a sound intensity of 6.7 x 10-19 W m-2.
sound_pressure_level_in_water: dB : decibels referenced to a sound pressure of = 10-6 Pa.
Regards, Mike
