Dear CF community,
In the frame of MyOcean project together with Ocean Colour partners we would like to submit you some new standard name proposals:
*surface_reflectance (1)
?CF already propose 'surface_albedo', so from this basis we propose to extend it with a less specific quantity.
*depth_of_disappearance_from_surface (m)
?A quantity that is usually known as Secchi disk depth.
I must admit I am not very satisfied with this proposal because the first thing that come into our mind is 'depth of disappearance of what?'. I do not know how to translate Secchi depth in a "CF way", so I'm very open to any suggestions. For non experts in ocean turbidity measurement hereafter two links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secchi_disk (the Wikipedia page - what would we become without Wikipedia..) and
http://www.eoearth.org/article/Secchi_disk.
Thank you for your help and comments.
Best regards,
Olivier.
