Happy new year !
Dear Jonathan,
Thank you very much for your comments.
===========
CHANGED:
surface_dry_deposition_mass_flux_of_ozone_in_stomata
surface_dry_deposition_mass_flux_of_ozone_into_stomata
It is still surface deposition, since plants grow at the Earth surface.
****
Chemical production and destruction both have the prefix 'gross' now.
****
hexachlorbiphenyl is changed to hexachlorobiphenyl
===========
UPDATES:
The issue of X_expressed_as_Y seams to be settled: X=Y is the standard,
and the extension _expressed_as_Y it is only added if X\=Y.
The name particulate_organic matter seams to be accepted as well.
If there are no further objections, I would like to move the following
quantities from the proposed to the almost-accepted table:
surface_dry_deposition_mass_flux_of_X
surface_wet_deposition_mass_flux_of_X
mass_fraction_ of_X_dry_aerosol_in_air
mole_fraction_of_dimethyl_sulfide_in_air
chemical_gross_production_rate_of_mole_concentration_of_X
chemical_gross_destruction_rate_of_mole_concentration_of_X
===========
DISCUSSION
Your comment:

> fixed location.
atmosphere_emission means a source within the atmosphere, e.g. from the
surface or from an air plane.
atmosphere_production means production within the atmosphere, this
includes direct sources and chemical production from precursors.
re-emission refers to the source of a pollutant that is not directly
emitted by human activities, but re-emitted after previously being
deposited and accumulated in soils or water.
These names were understood in our community (for the HTAP experiments),
are they not clear enough?

Your comment on water_in_ambient_aerosol_optical_depth:
I had proposed '
<substance>_ambient_aerosol_optical_depth
as explained in an email from on 10/10/2006:
> - optical depth: ambient
>
> As the optical depth depends on the water content, the word 'ambient' avoids ambiguities.
>
> - optical depth or thickness?

> 2) does not fit with cloud_optical_depth,
> 3) is there any opt. depth not in the atmosphere?
> this is why I proposed X_aerosol_ambient_optical_depth
There were no objections to this proposal, this is why they appear in
the almost-accepted table.
water_in_ambient_aerosol_optical_depth follows this systematic, it is
the optical depth due to the water contained in aerosol.

I am looking forward to your comments.
Best regards,
Christiane
