Hi All,
We are currently in the process of migrating SELFE outputs to CF
compliant netcdf, using the UGRID conventions (
http://bit.ly/ugrid_cf).
I have a question about the standard names for turbulence closures used
in ocean models.
We have the following fields:
- vertical eddy viscosity (diffusivity of momentum), unit m2 s-1
- vertical eddy diffusivity of tracers, unit m2 s-1
- vertical eddy kinetic energy (per unit mass), unit m2 s-2
- kinetic energy dissipation rate, unit m2 s-3
- mixing length, unit m
Looking at the documentation in [1], I guess for the eddy viscosity and
diffusivity we could use ocean_vertical_momentum_diffusivity and
ocean_vertical_tracer_diffusivity, respectively. But for the other
variables I haven't found a reference.

Would anyone know if standard names exists for these quantities, and if
so, where they are documented?
