Dear Siobhan et al,
I think we are now agreed on all the outstanding issues arising from the
cryosphere names. Please see below for the full list of the finalised
names:
heat_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_freezing_of_frazil_ice; Wm-2
surface_downward_heat_flux_in_snow; Wm-2
sea_ice_surface_temperature; K
age_of_surface_snow; day
permafrost_layer_thickness; m
liquid_water_content_of_permafrost_layer; kg m-2
sea_ice_and_surface_snow_amount; kg m-2
sea_ice_salinity; psu
age_of_sea_ice; year
sea_ice_albedo; 1
integral_of_sea_ice_temperature_wrt_depth_expressed_as_heat_content;
Jm-2
tendency_of_sea_ice_amount_due_to_frazil_ice_accumulation_in_leads;
kgm-2 s-1
tendency_of_sea_ice_amount_due_to_congelation_ice_accumulation; kg m-2
s-1
tendency_of_sea_ice_amount_due_to_snow_conversion; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_surface_snow_melt_amount; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_sea_ice_amount_due_to_surface_melting; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_sea_ice_amount_due_to_basal_melting; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_sea_ice_amount_due_to_lateral_growth_of_ice_floes; kg m-2
s-1
sea_ice_x_transport; kg s-1
sea_ice_y_transport; kg s-1
compressive_strength_of_sea_ice; Pa m
sea_water_transport_across_line; kg s-1
eastward_derivative_of_northward_sea_ice_velocity; s-1
northward_derivative_of_eastward_sea_ice_velocity; s-1
upward_x_stress_at_sea_ice_base; Pa
upward_y_stress_at_sea_ice_base; Pa
tendency_of_sea_ice_area_fraction_due_to_ridging; s-1.
These names will all be added to the standard name table shortly.
In addition, a new type of snow_on_sea_ice will be added to the
area_type table.
Best wishes,
Alison
