Dear all,
I would like to propose you new_standard names for aerosols and chemical
variables. These names will be used in the model intercomparisons in the
framework of the Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution
(
http://www.htap.org/,
http://aqm.jrc.it/HTAP/) and the European
Integrated Project GEMS (
http://www.ecmwf.int/research/EU_projects/GEMS/).
The proposed names have been extensively discussed by a 'virtual
workgroup' activity through a wiki page
http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Air_Quality/Chemistry_Naming_Conventions
with the aid of some CF experts to whom we are very grateful for their
support.
Many other people who contributed to discussion:
Olivier Boucher, Frank Dentener, Rudy Husar, Jonathan Gregory,
KyleHalliday, BryanLawrence, Vincent-Henri Peuch, Sebastian Rast, Martin
Schultz, Michael Schulz, Ranjeet Sokhi, David Stevenson, Karl Taylor,
Christiane Textor, Peter van Velthoven.
Please find attached a file with the proposed standard names.
More information on how these names are constructed can be found at
http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/CF_Standard_Names_-_Future_Atmospheric_Chemistry_and_Aerosol_Terms
I am looking forward to your comments.
Best regards,
Christiane Textor
(on vacation until September 11)
