Dear Andreas,
Thank you! The following names are now accepted for inclusion in the standard name table and will be added at the next update (planned for this week):
stratosphere_mole_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide (mol m-2)
troposphere_mole_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide (mol m-2)
troposphere_mole_content_of_glyoxal (mol m-2)
troposphere_mole_content_of_formaldehyde (mol m-2)
troposphere_mole_content_of_iodine_monoxide (mol m-2)
troposphere_mole_content_of_bromine_monoxide (mol m-2)
troposphere_mole_content_of_sulfur_dioxide (mol m-2)
troposphere_mole_content_of_ozone (mol m-2).
This week I will also request the addition of 'molecule' to UDUNITS.
Best wishes,
Alison
