Denar Jonathan,
Many thanks for your comments.
> cell_height:
You are right, I mean the vertical extent in [m]. I realize, that the
work 'thickness' is generally used in CF to express the vertical extent.
So I guess I should suggest now cell_thickness to be consistent with
existing CF names. However, we use 'height' for the grid box and I would
expect a name like grid-box-height and would not necessarily assume that
cell_thickness could be what I am looking for. cell_thickness sounds a
bit like micro-biology to me.
> potential_temperature_difference_between_700hPa_and_1000hPa:
You are suggesting a new pattern 'difference_in_X_wrt_Y', so
difference_in_air_potential_temperature_wrt_air_pressure
(the two pressures have to be given as coordinate variable?)
Although you have used the pattern change_in in other names I would
suggest to use the proposition 'in' only for the description of the
location. Therefore I would say change_of and difference_of, like
tendency_of. (I am not a native speaker, is there a language subtlety
involved that I am missing?). So the name would be
difference_of_air_potential_temperature_wrt_air_pressure
> due_to_net_production_and_emission_from_biomass_burning: Could that just be

yes, good idea!
>> atmosphere_number_concentration_of_X_in_air: I think "atmosphere_" is not

I agree.
Best regards,
Christiane
