[CF-metadata] Proposal for additional CF biogeochemistry attributes

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.
