Dear all

Since Alison has reminded us this is still under discussion, I'd like to ask
again whether anyone has a better idea than to use the phrases
X_expressed_as_Y, or X_expressed_as_such, if X=Y for mass fluxes of chemical
species, to indicate that there is a flux of X (carbon dioxide, for instance)
but the mass units count it in terms of Y (carbon, for instance). Are these
phrase clear enough?

Cheers

Jonathan
