Dear all,
The discussion about introducing new standard names for SST raised a lot of
interesting questions; If I understood correctly and try to synthesize the
way CF could meet GHRSST-PP science team requirements for SST, we may have
the following choice:
*SSTint (GHRSST-PP): surface_temperature (CF)
*SSTskin (GHRSST-PP):
- sea_surface_temperature_in_skin_layer?
- skin_sea_surface_temperature?
- sea_skin_temperature?
- sea_water_temperature with a depth attribute ?
(I would personnally vote for a name with "skin" explicitly written in,
with no depth attribute, like the first three ones)
*SSTsubskin (GHRSST-PP):
- sea_surface_temperature_in_subskin_layer?
- subskin_sea_surface_temperature?
- sea_subskin_temperature?
- sea_water_temperature with a depth attribute ?
(same comments as for SSTskin)
*SSTdepth (GHRSST-PP): sea_water_temperature (CF)
*SSTfnd (GHRSST-PP):
- sea_surface_temperature_at_diurnal_thermocline_base
Do everybody agree, or is anything missing? If yes, we shall only pick new
names for SSTskin, SSTsubskin and SSTfnd: the "final cut" is for Craig?
Cheers,
Olivier.
