Dear Jonathan and Christiane,
I agree that a consistent placing of 'expressed_as' would be an
improvement. Hence, the following aliases will be created in the
standard name table:
mole_concentration_of_diatoms_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen becomes
mole_concentration_of_diatoms_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water
mole_concentration_of_mesozooplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen
becomes
mole_concentration_of_mesozooplankton_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water
mole_concentration_of_microzooplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitroge
n becomes
mole_concentration_of_microzooplankton_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_wate
r
mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitroge
n becomes
mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_wate
r
mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_in_sea_water_expressed_as_silicon
becomes
mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_expressed_as_silicon_in_sea_water
mole_concentration_of_phytoplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen
becomes
mole_concentration_of_phytoplankton_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water
This positioning of 'expressed_as' immediately following the species to
which it applies has also been agreed in the ECHAM5-hammoz and 'CF
standard names for chemical constituents and aerosols' threads.
Best wishes,
Alison
