Dear Christophe,
Thinking ahead, I tried to put dobson into cf-python's CF Udunits data
base, but couldn't since it was already there (at Udunits version
2.1.24):
<unit>
<def>446.2 micromoles/meter^2</def>
<aliases>
<name> <singular>dobson</singular> </name>
<symbol>DU</symbol>
</aliases>
</unit>
Would it be too unexpected to give units of "mole/area" to a standard
name which started "equivalent_thickness_"?
All the best,
David
