[CF-metadata] Standard Name Inconsistency?

Dear All,

During an analysis I've just done I've noticed a that some standard names use the term 'amount' for mass per unit area, whilst others use the term 'mass_content', which to me is an exact synonym. Is this correct or am I missing something?

If it is a synonym should any action be taken? If so, what? There are 519 atmospheric chemistry Standard Names that use 'mass_content' and 61 Standard Names, a lot of which are related to precipitation, that use 'amount' so any change would have significant repercussions.

Cheers, Roy.

Please note that I now work part-time from Tuesday to Thursday. E-mail response on other days is possible but not guaranteed!
