Dear all,
Thank you Philip. What I understood is that everybody finally agrees on introducing a concept like mole_ratio_of_X_to_Y_in_medium.
And in that case the standard name we are looking for would be: 'mole_ratio_of_nitrate_to_phosphate_in_sea_water'.
It sounds good.
Synthesizing the iterations we had together, this leads us to make the following addition proposal to CF Metadata:
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_nitrogen
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_fraction_of_oxygen_in_sea_water
l l-1
ml/l
mole_ratio_of_nitrate_to_phosphate_in_sea_water
1
1
mass_concentration_of_phytoplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_chlorophyll
kg m-3
ug/l
Many thanks,
Best wishes
Olivier.

Hi All,
To help bring this to a conclusion, let me reiterate and say that
mole_ratio_of_X_to_Y_in_medium is acceptable to me.
Best wishes,
Philip
