Hi Christiane,
You must be right. In that case I have another problem, because existing standard names are build like this: mole_concentration_of_diatoms_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen
That's the reason why we suggested the names in that way..
What should we do? Should we keep "expressed_as_X" at the end, like it is? Because on the other hand we would be obliged to change several existing standard names?
Cheers

Dear Olivier ,
I have one short remark concerning the "expressed_as_X" names: The
expressed_as_X should be next to the species, e.g.:
mass_concentration_of_organic_detritus_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water
and not
mass_concentration_of_organic_detritus_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen
Cheers,
Christiane
