Dear All,
An update to the standard name table is long overdue. There have been a
large number of proposals for new names in recent months and it is
taking a while to work through them all. I am planning an update of the
table on Tuesday 16 June and as you will see from the list below, there
will be a lot of changes this time. Due to the length of the list, I am
allowing a little longer than the usual seven days for final checks. If
you do spot any errors please let me know as soon as possible. At the
end of this email you will find details of planned changes to the
standard names Guidelines to accompany the changes to the table itself.
Best wishes,
Alison

becomes
mole_concentration_of_phytoplankton_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water
c. Aliases arising from the 'Modification of some existing CF standard
names for chemical constituents' thread raised by Christiane Textor.
All older 'aerosol' names will be aliased to 'ambient_aerosol' names:
aerosol_angstrom_exponent becomes
angstrom_exponent_of_ambient_aerosol_in_air
At the same time the definition of this name will be expanded to read as
follows:
'"Aerosol" means the suspended liquid or solid particles in air (except
cloud droplets). "Ambient aerosol" is aerosol that has taken up ambient
water through hygroscopic growth. The extent of hygroscopic growth
depends on the relative humidity and the composition of the aerosol. The
"Angstrom exponent" appears in the formula relating aerosol optical
thickness to the wavelength of incident radiation: T(lambda) =
T(lambda0) * [lambda/lambda0]**(-1 * alpha) where alpha is the Angstrom
exponent, lambda is the wavelength of incident radiation, lambda0 is a
reference wavelength, T(lambda) and T(lambda0) are the aerosol optical
thickness at wavelengths lambda and lambda0, respectively.'
atmosphere_content_of_sulfate_aerosol becomes
atmosphere_mass_content_of_sulfate_ambient_aerosol
At the same time the definition of this name will be expanded to read as
follows:
'"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "Aerosol" means the
suspended liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets).
"Ambient aerosol" is aerosol that has taken up ambient water through
hygroscopic growth. The extent of hygroscopic growth depends on the
relative humidity and the composition of the aerosol.'
mass_concentration_of_sulfate_aerosol_in_air becomes
mass_concentration_of_sulfate_ambient_aerosol_in_air
At the same time the definition of this name will be expanded to read as
follows:
'Mass concentration means mass per unit volume and is used in the
construction mass_concentration_of_X_in_Y, where X is a material
constituent of Y. "Aerosol" means the suspended liquid or solid
particles in air (except cloud droplets). "Ambient aerosol" is aerosol
that has taken up ambient water through hygroscopic growth. The extent
of hygroscopic growth depends on the relative humidity and the
composition of the aerosol.'
mass_fraction_of_pm10_aerosol_in_air becomes
mass_fraction_of_pm10_ambient_aerosol_in_air
At the same time the definition of this name will be expanded to read as
follows:
'Mass fraction is used in the construction mass_fraction_of_X_in_Y,
where X is a material constituent of Y. It means the ratio of the mass
of X to the mass of Y (including X). "Aerosol" means the suspended
liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets "Pm10 aerosol"
is an air pollutant with an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal
to 10 micrometers. To specify the relative humidity and temperature at
which the particle size applies, provide scalar coordinate variables
with the standard names of, respectively, "relative_humidity" and
"air_temperature".'
mass_fraction_of_pm1_aerosol_in_air becomes
mass_fraction_of_pm1_ambient_aerosol_in_air
At the same time the definition of this name will be expanded to read as
follows:
'Mass fraction is used in the construction mass_fraction_of_X_in_Y,
where X is a material constituent of Y. It means the ratio of the mass
of X to the mass of Y (including X). "Aerosol" means the suspended
liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets). "Ambient
aerosol" is aerosol that has taken up ambient water through hygroscopic
growth. The extent of hygroscopic growth depends on the relative
humidity and the composition of the aerosol. "Pm1 aerosol" is an air
pollutant with an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to 1
micrometer. To specify the relative humidity and temperature at which
the particle size applies, provide scalar coordinate variables with the
standard names of, respectively, "relative_humidity" and
"air_temperature".'
mass_fraction_of_pm2p5_aerosol_in_air becomes
mass_fraction_of_pm2p5_ambient_aerosol_in_air
At the same time the definition of this name will be expanded to read as
follows:
'Mass fraction is used in the construction mass_fraction_of_X_in_Y,
where X is a material constituent of Y. It means the ratio of the mass
of X to the mass of Y (including X). "Aerosol" means the suspended
liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets). "Ambient
aerosol" is aerosol that has taken up ambient water through hygroscopic
growth. The extent of hygroscopic growth depends on the relative
humidity and the composition of the aerosol. "Pm2p5 aerosol" is an air
pollutant with an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to 2.5
micrometers. To specify the relative humidity and temperature at which
the particle size applies, provide scalar coordinate variables with the
standard names of, respectively, "relative_humidity" and
"air_temperature".'
There are two remaining names that do not specify 'ambient_aerosol':
atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_aerosol
optical_thickness_of_atmosphere_layer_due_to_aerosol.
These will not be changed in this update of the table. For further
discussion of these names please see my posting with subject heading 'CF
standard names for echam5-hammoz (optical thickness)'.
d. Aliases for two concentration names
Christiane has pointed out that two existing names omit the word 'mass'.
Thanks for drawing this to my attention. The following two aliases will
be created:
concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water becomes
mass_concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water
concentration_of_suspended_matter_in_sea_water becomes
mass_concentration_of_suspended_matter_in_sea_water
e. Aliases arising from the 'CF standard names for chemical constituents
and aerosols' thread raised by Martina Stockhause
During the discussion it has come to light that the word 'chemical' was
accidentally omitted when two names were added to the table. The
following two aliases will be created:
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_particulate_organic_matter_dry_ae
rosol_due_to_net_production_and_emission becomes
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_particulate_organic_matter_dry_ae
rosol_due_to_net_chemical_production_and_emission
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_secondary_particulate_organic_mat
ter_dry_aerosol_due_to_net_production becomes
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_secondary_particulate_organic_mat
ter_dry_aerosol_due_to_net_chemical_production
mole_fraction_of_total_reactive_nitrogen_in_air becomes

h. Surface emissivity names. Proposed by Young-In Won.

3. Amendments to units of existing names
a) NEMO ocean model names (introduced in v10 of the standard name
table).
ocean_rigid_lid_pressure - N m-2 will change to Pa
x_derivative_of_ocean_rigid_lid_pressure - N m-3 will change to Pa m-1
y_derivative_of_ocean_rigid_lid_pressure - N m-3 will change to Pa m-1
4. Amendments to definitions of existing names
a) dry_deposition names
As a result of the addition of new turbulent_deposition and
gravitational_settling names for the ECHAM-Hammoz model, it has been
agreed that the definition of all dry deposition_names should contain
the following explanatory sentence:
'Dry deposition is the sum of turbulent deposition and gravitational
settling.' Corresponding sentences will be included in the
turbulent_deposition and gravitational_settling name definitions to make
clear the relationships between all these names.
b) sea_water_pressure
No definition currently exists for this name. Following discussion of
the CMIP5 ocean names a definition will be created for this name as
follows:
"'sea_water_pressure' is the pressure that exists in the medium of sea
water. It includes the pressure due to overlying sea water, sea_ice, air
and any other medium that may be present."
5. Modifications to standard names Guidelines document
N.B. Some of these changes may take a little longer to implement than
the update to the standard name table itself.
a. Arising from the GRIB 2 names thread
The existing 'Chemical Species' section is very out of date. I will add
all the currently agreed species names. The use of the 'expressed_as'
phrase in species names will be explained. In addition, this section
will state the decision we have reached regarding IUPAC names:
> Specifically, it has
> been agreed that IUPAC names should be used where practicable, but it
> is recognised that non-systematic IUPAC approved names, or on occasion
> other common names, will be preferable where these are widely used,
> shorter and unambiguous. Where non-IUPAC chemical names are used in
> standard names the definition of the name should include the IUPAC
> equivalent.
We currently have a section in the Guidelines entitled 'Transformations'
which gives a number of 'template' phrases that can be used within
standard names to describe mathematical quantities, for example,
change_over_time_in_X, derivative_of_X_wrt_Y. Jonathan suggested some
time ago (not on the list) that we could similarly include templates for
the processes associated with the chemical names. I will add a section
entitled 'Chemical phrases' and list in there all the currently agreed
phrases (such as
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_X_due_to_emission).
The 'Chemical Species' and 'Chemical Phrases' sections will be turned
into separate documents that will be linked to from the Guidelines, but
which can then also be viewed separately.
b. Arising from the "Medium 'atmosphere'" thread
(i) Position of large-scale and local medium within the standard name.
Following on from the discussion of large-scale and local media (e.g.
'atmosphere' versus 'in_air') and their respective positions within the
standard name, it has been agreed that large-scale medium should always
appear as a prefix and local medium as a postfix. This is consistent
with existing atmosphere/ocean and in_air/in_sea_water standard names
(including the moles_of_X aliases that will be created in this update).
(ii) Agreement has been reached that new 'local media' of
in_cloud_water, in_cloud_liquid_water and in_cloud_ice will be useful
for describing dissolved chemical species.
(iii) Position of 'Transformation' in the standard name.
Although mathematical transformations such as change_over_time_in_X are
an established part of standard names, their position within the
standard name is not currently documented.
The standard name guidelines will therefore be amended in accordance
with points i-iii:
a) In the 'Qualifications' section, change the pattern for constructing
standard names from
[surface] [component] standard_name [at surface] [in medium] [due to
process] [assuming condition]
to
[transformation(s)] [surface] [component] [large-scale medium]
standard_name [at surface] [in local medium] [due to process] [assuming
condition]
b) Add a new section entitled 'Large-scale medium' following the
existing 'Component' section:
Large-scale medium
The medium throughout which a quantity applies: atmosphere, troposphere,
stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, middle_atmosphere, ocean.
c) Alter the title of the existing 'Medium' section to 'Local Medium'
and alter the wording as follows:
Local medium
The local medium or layer within which an intensive quantity applies:
in_air, in_atmosphere_boundary_layer, in_sea_ice, in_sea_water, in_soil,
in_soil_water, in_cloud_water, in_cloud_liquid_water, in_cloud_ice.
d) The sentence "Successive transformations may be applied" at the
beginning of the Transformations section will be extended to read
"Successive transformations may be applied, e.g.
square_of_lagrangian_tendency_of_X, and the transformations are applied
to the data in right to left order."
