Dear Heinke,
I am now - finally, sorry - responding to this email.
Heinke had sent a list of names, which are now awaiting final agreement.
So far, we had the following names for chemical content, mass fraction,
concentration, etc. in CF:
mass_fraction_of_<A_dry_aerosol>_in_air
mass_fraction_of_<A_aerosol>_in_air
mass_concentration_of_<A_?dry?aerosol>_in_air
mole_concentration_of_<X>_in_sea_water
mole_fraction_of_<G>_in_air
moles_of_<G>_in_atmosphere
Heinke is proposing new groups:
atmosphere_number_content_of_X
atmosphere_mass_content_of_X
This brings us back to the use of the 'media' atmosphere and/or in_air
and there position, there is an open thread 'medium atmosphere'on this.
I think, we first have to close this thread before we can agree on the
names proposed by Heinke.
I have some addtional comments on the Heinke's names, see below.

from the old mass_concentration_of_X_in_air_of_atmosphere_layer)
_of_atmosphere_layer deleted and dry_aerosol added.
This means, that the for the atmosphere_layer you will use the cell method?

is pm2p5 allowed as a species?

Units

I think it does, but I do not find it a good idea to have ug for some of
the species and kg for others. The same is true for centimeters or
meters. Maybe some old habits should be abolished: Why not just use the
SI units, this is clear and easy will avoid mistakes when using the files.
Best regards,
