--- V66 standard name changes 1. New names One new name was proposed by Martin Juckes for consistency between Appendix D of the conventions document and the standard name table: ocean_double_sigma_coordinate (Canonical unit: 1) 2. New aliases 25 aliases were proposed by Martin Juckes to improve the internal consistency of the standard name table: ambient_aerosol_particle_diameter -> diameter_of_ambient_aerosol_particles carbon_mass_flux_into_soil_and_litter_due_to_anthropogenic_land_use_or_land_cover_change -> carbon_mass_flux_into_litter_and_soil_due_to_anthropogenic_land_use_or_land_cover_change backscattering_ratio -> backscattering_ratio_in_air effective_radius_of_cloud_liquid_water_particle -> effective_radius_of_cloud_liquid_water_particles effective_radius_of_cloud_liquid_water_particle_at_liquid_water_cloud_top -> effective_radius_of_cloud_liquid_water_particles_at_liquid_water_cloud_top effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_ice_particle -> effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_ice_particles effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particle -> effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particles effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particle_at_convective_liquid_water_cloud_top -> effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particles_at_convective_liquid_water_cloud_top effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_rain_particle -> effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_rain_particles effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_snow_particle -> effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_snow_particles effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_ice_particle -> effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_ice_particles effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_graupel_particle -> effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_graupel_particles effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_particle -> effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_particles effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_particle_at_stratiform_liquid_water_cloud_top -> effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_particles_at_stratiform_liquid_water_cloud_top effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_rain_particle -> effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_rain_particles effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_snow_particle -> effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_snow_particles electrical_mobility_particle_diameter -> electrical_mobility_diameter_of_ambient_aerosol_particles histogram_of_backscattering_ratio_over_height_above_reference_ellipsoid -> histogram_of_backscattering_ratio_in_air_over_height_above_reference_ellipsoid mass_concentration_of_biomass_burning_dry_aerosol_in_air -> mass_concentration_of_biomass_burning_dry_aerosol_particles_in_air mass_fraction_of_mercury_dry_aerosol_in_air -> mass_fraction_of_mercury_dry_aerosol_particles_in_air number_concentration_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particle_at_convective_liquid_water_cloud_top -> number_concentration_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particles_at_convective_liquid_water_cloud_top number_concentration_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_particle_at_stratiform_liquid_water_cloud_top -> number_concentration_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_particles_at_stratiform_liquid_water_cloud_top tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_mercury_dry_aerosol_due_to_emission -> tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_mercury_dry_aerosol_particles_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_sulfate_dry_aerosol_expressed_as_sulfur_due_to_wet_deposition -> tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_sulfate_dry_aerosol_particles_expressed_as_sulfur_due_to_wet_deposition tendency_of_atmosphere_number_content_of_aerosol_particles_due_to_turbulent_depostion -> tendency_of_atmosphere_number_content_of_aerosol_particles_due_to_turbulent_deposition 3. Modifications to definitions of existing names a. Area fraction names Martin Juckes and Karl Taylor proposed adding the following to the definitions of all area_fraction names: ' "Area fraction" is the fraction of a grid cell's horizontal area that has some characteristic of interest. It is evaluated as the area of interest divided by the grid cell area. It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction.' This change affects 36 names: area_fraction area_fraction_below_surface area_fraction_of_day_defined_by_solar_zenith_angle area_fraction_of_night_defined_by_solar_zenith_angle area_fraction_of_twilight_defined_by_solar_zenith_angle burned_area_fraction clear_sky_area_fraction cloud_area_fraction cloud_area_fraction_in_atmosphere_layer convective_cloud_area_fraction convective_cloud_area_fraction_in_atmosphere_layer floating_ice_shelf_area_fraction fog_area_fraction fraction_of_time_with_sea_ice_area_fraction_above_threshold gross_rate_of_decrease_in_area_fraction gross_rate_of_increase_in_area_fraction grounded_ice_sheet_area_fraction high_type_cloud_area_fraction ice_cloud_area_fraction ice_cloud_area_fraction_in_atmosphere_layer isccp_cloud_area_fraction land_area_fraction land_ice_area_fraction liquid_water_cloud_area_fraction liquid_water_cloud_area_fraction_in_atmosphere_layer low_type_cloud_area_fraction medium_type_cloud_area_fraction sea_area_fraction sea_ice_area_fraction stratiform_cloud_area_fraction stratiform_cloud_area_fraction_in_atmosphere_layer surface_snow_area_fraction tendency_of_sea_ice_area_fraction_due_to_dynamics tendency_of_sea_ice_area_fraction_due_to_ridging tendency_of_sea_ice_area_fraction_due_to_thermodynamics vegetation_area_fraction b. IUPAC names Roy Lowry proposed that all IUPAC names in definitions should be written in the correctly standardized format (i.e. using hyphens, commas and brackets in the right places) to facilitate searching the standard name table for chemical species. The IUPAC names have been taken from the PubChem database (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). This change affects 123 names: atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc11 atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc113 atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc113a atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc114 atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc115 atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc12 atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon1202 atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon1211 atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon1301 atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon2402 atmosphere_mass_content_of_hcc140a atmosphere_mass_content_of_hcfc22 atmosphere_mass_content_of_isoprene atmosphere_mass_content_of_limonene atmosphere_moles_of_cfc11 atmosphere_moles_of_cfc113 atmosphere_moles_of_cfc113a atmosphere_moles_of_cfc114 atmosphere_moles_of_cfc115 atmosphere_moles_of_cfc12 atmosphere_moles_of_halon1202 atmosphere_moles_of_halon1211 atmosphere_moles_of_halon1301 atmosphere_moles_of_halon2402 atmosphere_moles_of_hcc140a atmosphere_moles_of_hcfc22 atmosphere_moles_of_isoprene atmosphere_moles_of_limonene mass_concentration_of_cfc113_in_air mass_concentration_of_cfc113a_in_air mass_concentration_of_cfc114_in_air mass_concentration_of_cfc115_in_air mass_concentration_of_cfc11_in_air mass_concentration_of_cfc12_in_air mass_concentration_of_halon1202_in_air mass_concentration_of_halon1211_in_air mass_concentration_of_halon1301_in_air mass_concentration_of_halon2402_in_air mass_concentration_of_hcc140a_in_air mass_concentration_of_hcfc22_in_air mass_concentration_of_isoprene_in_air mass_concentration_of_limonene_in_air mass_fraction_of_cfc113_in_air mass_fraction_of_cfc113a_in_air mass_fraction_of_cfc114_in_air mass_fraction_of_cfc115_in_air mass_fraction_of_cfc11_in_air mass_fraction_of_cfc12_in_air mass_fraction_of_halon1202_in_air mass_fraction_of_halon1211_in_air mass_fraction_of_halon1301_in_air mass_fraction_of_halon2402_in_air mass_fraction_of_hcc140a_in_air mass_fraction_of_hcfc22_in_air mass_fraction_of_isoprene_in_air mass_fraction_of_limonene_in_air mole_concentration_of_cfc113_in_air mole_concentration_of_cfc113a_in_air mole_concentration_of_cfc114_in_air mole_concentration_of_cfc115_in_air mole_concentration_of_cfc11_in_air mole_concentration_of_cfc11_in_sea_water mole_concentration_of_cfc12_in_air mole_concentration_of_cfc12_in_sea_water mole_concentration_of_halon1202_in_air mole_concentration_of_halon1211_in_air mole_concentration_of_halon1301_in_air mole_concentration_of_halon2402_in_air mole_concentration_of_hcc140a_in_air mole_concentration_of_hcfc22_in_air mole_concentration_of_isoprene_in_air mole_concentration_of_limonene_in_air mole_fraction_of_carbon_tetrafluoride_in_air mole_fraction_of_cfc113_in_air mole_fraction_of_cfc113a_in_air mole_fraction_of_cfc114_in_air mole_fraction_of_cfc115_in_air mole_fraction_of_cfc11_in_air mole_fraction_of_cfc12_in_air mole_fraction_of_halon1202_in_air mole_fraction_of_halon1211_in_air mole_fraction_of_halon1301_in_air mole_fraction_of_halon2402_in_air mole_fraction_of_hcc140a_in_air mole_fraction_of_hcfc22_in_air mole_fraction_of_isoprene_in_air mole_fraction_of_limonene_in_air moles_of_cfc11_per_unit_mass_in_sea_water surface_downward_mole_flux_of_cfc11 surface_downward_mole_flux_of_cfc12 tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc113_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc113a_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc114_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc115_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc11_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_cfc12_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon1202_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon1211_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon1301_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_halon2402_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_hcc140a_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_hcfc22_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_isoprene_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_isoprene_due_to_emission_from_forest_fires tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_isoprene_due_to_emission_from_savanna_and_grassland_fires tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_limonene_due_to_emission tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_cfc11 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_cfc113 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_cfc113a tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_cfc114 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_cfc115 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_cfc12 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_halon1202 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_halon1211 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_halon1301 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_halon2402 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_hcc140a tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_hcfc22 tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_isoprene tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_limonene tendency_of_middle_atmosphere_moles_of_hcc140a tendency_of_troposphere_moles_of_hcc140a tendency_of_troposphere_moles_of_hcfc22 c. Forcing and radiative effect names During the discussion of Martin's proposals for improving consistency it was agreed to add the following to the definitions of all radiative forcing and radiative effect names: 'A positive radiative forcing or radiative effect is equivalent to a downward radiative flux and contributes to a warming of the earth system.' This change affects 15 names: toa_adjusted_longwave_forcing toa_adjusted_radiative_forcing toa_adjusted_shortwave_forcing toa_cloud_radiative_effect toa_instantaneous_longwave_forcing toa_instantaneous_radiative_forcing toa_instantaneous_shortwave_forcing toa_longwave_cloud_radiative_effect toa_shortwave_cloud_radiative_effect tropopause_adjusted_longwave_forcing tropopause_adjusted_radiative_forcing tropopause_adjusted_shortwave_forcing tropopause_instantaneous_longwave_forcing tropopause_instantaneous_radiative_forcing tropopause_instantaneous_shortwave_forcing d. Parametric coordinates A number of standard names refer to Appendix D of the conventions document in their defintions. At CF version 1.7 the title of this appendix changed from "Dimensionless vertical coordinates" to "Parametric vertical coordinates". The standard name definitions have been updated to reflect this.
