[CF-metadata] New standard names for Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen and Particulate Organic Nitrogen

Dear all,

I would like to propose two new standard names:

mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_nitrogen_in_sea_water
mole_concentration_of_particulate_organic_nitrogen_in_sea_water

A similar standard name for "dissolved inorganic phosphorus" exists
already. Moreover, a few tendency/flux standard names exist for
"dissolved inorganic nitrogen" and "particulate organic nitrogen". The
descriptions and units are given below.

Regards,
Daniel


name:
mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_nitrogen_in_sea_water

description:
Mole concentration means number of moles per unit volume, also called
"molarity", and is used in the construction
"mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y.
A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a
single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as
"nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". "Dissolved inorganic nitrogen" means the
sum of all inorganic nitrogen in solution (including nitrate, ammonia,
and nitrite).

unit:
mol m-3


name:
mole_concentration_of_particulate_organic_nitrogen_in_sea_water

description:
Mole concentration means number of moles per unit volume, also called
"molarity", and is used in the construction
"mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y.
A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a
single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as
"nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". "Particulate organic nitrogen" means the
sum of all organic nitrogen compounds, which are solid or which are
bound to solid particles.

unit:
mol m-3
