Dear all,
A few months ago Bruce Hackett made the suggestion to complete the
standard name table by adding the following proposals:
NetCDF standard_name*
canonical unit
typical unit
mass_concentration_of_inorganic_nitrogen_in_sea_water
kg m-3
ug/l
mass_concentration_of_phosphate_in_sea_water
kg m-3
ug/l
mole_concentration_of_phosphate_in_sea_water
mol m-3
umol/l
mass_concentration_of_silicate_in_sea_water
kg m-3
ug/l
mass_concentration_of_organic_detritus_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitroge
n
kg m-3
ug/l
mass_concentration_of_organic_detritus_in_sea_water_expressed_as_carbon
kg m-3
ug/l
mass_concentration_of_diatoms_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen
kg m-3
ug/l
mass_concentration_of_diatoms_in_sea_water_expressed_as_carbon
kg m-3
ug/l
mass_concentration_of_flagellates_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen
kg m-3
ug/l
mass_concentration_of_flagellates_in_sea_water_expressed_as_carbon
kg m-3
ug/l
volume_concentration_of_oxygen_in_sea_water
l l-1
ml/l
ratio_of_nitrate_to_phosphate_in_sea_water
1
1
mass_concentration_of_phytoplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_chlorophyl
l
kg m-3
ug/l
At that time Jonathan recalled that, concerning the syntax, in the next
future the 'expressed_as...' part could be moved next to the species -
instead of at the end of the standard name.
Anyway today it follows the building logical of the existing standard
names; and if one day the syntax rules are changing we would be able to
apply them in that case again, wouldn't we? It wouldn't have strong
consequences, I think.
Then I bring back this subject again, hoping to find an issue J
Thank you for comments and help,
Olivier.
