Dear All,
The standard name table will be updated later today with the list of changes detailed below. I will post again when the update is complete. Please note that there are also a number of open mailing list threads in which standard names are currently under discussion. Those proposals are not included in today's update.
Best wishes,
Alison
1. New names
a. surface_snow_binary_mask; 1. Proposed by Jim Biard.
b. mole_content_of_ozone_in_atmosphere_layer; mol m-2. Proposed by Christophe Lerot.

tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_savanna_and_grassland_fires; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide_due_to_emission_from_forest_fires; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_savanna_and_grassland_fires; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_forest_fires; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_agricultural_production; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_agricultural_waste_burning; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_industrial_processes_and_combustion; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_energy_production_and_distribution; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_land_transport; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_maritime_transport; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_waste_treatment_and_disposal; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_residential_and_commercial_combustion; kg m-2 s-1
tendency_of_mass_concentration_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_monoxide_in_air_due_to_emission_from_aviation; kg m-3 s-1
d. sea_water_pressure_due_to_sea_water; dbar. Proposed by Roy Lowry.
2. Clarification to definitions of existing names
a. toa_bidirectional_reflectance.
The definition will be updated following discussion of a question asked by Randy Horne. The following text will be added to clarify the meaning:
' toa_bidirectional_reflectance includes a factor to account for the cosine of the solar zenith angle but does not include any integration over solid angle.'
b. tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_X_due_to_emission_from_industrial_processes_and_combustion names. Proposed by martin Schultz and Angelika Heil.
22 names of this pattern were recently added to the standard name table (version 20, 12 September 2012). The definitions contained a typo in the list of IPCC emissions categories: category 2E, "Production of halocarbons SF6", is being replaced by category 2G " Non-energy use of lubricants/waxes (CO2)".
