Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for pointing out these anomalies. I agree that we should
standardise the syntax where possible. I'll create two new aliases in
the next update of the table.
I'll look forward to reading your work on standard name construction.
Best wishes,
Alison

> I suggest that these two standard names should be amended:
> moles_per_unit_mass_of_cfc11_in_sea_water ->
> moles_of_cfc11_per_unit_mass_in_sea_water
> The latter order is followed by all the other names i.e.
> moles_of_X_per_unit_mass_in_sea_water
>
> change_over_time_in_atmospheric_water_content_due_to_advection ->
> change_over_time_in_atmosphere_water_content_due_to_advection
> since this is the only standard name containing the word
"atmospheric",
> and
> in other standard names we have phrases
> atmosphere[_...]_water_content
