Dear all,

The names I would like to suggest are for ECHAM5 (EH for ECMWF model and
HAM for Hamburg),
CLM, ERA15 and ERA40 output:

For ECHAM5 I like to suggest:

'water_vapor_mixing_ratio'
water vapor mixing ratio of a parcel of moist air is the ratio of the
mass of water
vapor to the mass of dry air.

'cloud_liquid_water_mixing_ratio'
 Mixing ratio of a parcel of liquid water in air is the ratio of the
mass of liquid water to the mass of dry air.

'cloud_ice_mixing_ratio'
 Mixing ratio of a parcel of ice in air is the ratio of the mass of ice
to the mass of dry air.

'surface_background_albedo' (This is the albedo assuming no snow but the
albedo of vegetation, glacier and shelf)

'toa_net_downward_longwave_flux_assuming_clear_sky'

'toa_outgoing_downward_shortwave_flux'

'surface_upwelling_downward_shortwave_flux_in_air'

'surface_upwelling_downward_longwave_flux_in_air'

In the model three different areas exist:

'-where_sea/lake-ice (except shelf)'
'-where_open_sea/lake'
'-where_land/shelf'

I need
downward_heat_flux_in_sea_ice and lake_ice (except shelf)

My proposal is a new standard name:
downward_heat_flux_in_ice

downward_heat_flux_in_ice where sea-ice and lake-ice (except shelf)

I need
ice_thickness where sea/lake-ice (except shelf)
I think
sea_ice_thickness where sea/lake-ice (except shelf)
is not correct.

My proposal is a new standard name:
ice_thickness

******************************************************************
For IPCC-DDC Third Assessment Report data sets I like to suggest:

convective_precipitation_rate

******************************************************************
For ERA15 ERA40 I like to suggest:

integral_of_surface_downward_eastward_stress_wrt_time Newton second
metre**-2

integral_of_surface_downward_northward_stress_wrt_time Newton second
metre**-2

integral_of_surface_downwelling_longwave_flux_in_air_wrt_time Watt
second metre**-2

integral_of_surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air_wrt_time Watt
second metre**-2


Best regards
Heinke
