[CF-metadata] New standard names for emission sectors

Dear all,

I would like to propose new CF standard names for different emission sectors. It was agreed some time ago "that "emission" is a general term that includes sources located anywhere in the atmosphere, such as aircraft, and sources located at the earth's surface." (Posting J.A.Pamment May 4 2007, 07:21:23)

The new gridded emission files which have been prepared for the IPCC AR5 simulations are subdivided into 12 emission sectors (see also Lamarque et al. 2010, www.atmos-chem-phys-discuss.net/10/4963/2010/ and, in more detail, ftp://ftp-ipcc.fz-juelich.de/pub/emissions/ancillary_data/IPCC_AR5_Emission_Sectors_v02.xls) and we would need specific standard names for them. (The issue was once raised by Martin Schultz - see Alison's mail from May 20 2009 15:06:26 +0100).

I would therefore like to expand the "due_to_<process>" syntax with <process> = emission.
For the moment, I'm proposing the expansion for carbon dioxide, only. Other species will follow.

Here are the CF standard names that I propose for the 12 IPCC AR5 emission sectors:

1)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_energy_production_and_distribution kg m-2 s-1
2)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_industrial_processes_and_combustion kg m-2 s-1
3)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_residential_and_commercial_combustion kg m-2 s-1
4)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_solvent_production_and_use kg m-2 s-1
5)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_agricultural_production kg m-2 s-1
6)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_agricultural_waste_burning kg m-2 s-1
7)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_waste_treatment_and_disposal kg m-2 s-1
8)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_forest_fires kg m-2 s-1
9)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_savanna_and_grassland_fires kg m-2 s-1
10)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_land_transport kg m-2 s-1
11)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_maritime_transport kg m-2 s-1
12)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_aviation kg m-2 s-1

Best regards

Angelika
