Dear Alison and CF metadata community,
/PLease find below the complete list of the new CF standard names that
we propose in the frame of HTAP2. //
//With my apologies for having used a wrong email address at some point
in my previous submissions.//
///-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (TF HTAP) is an
international scientific cooperative effort
to improve the understanding of the international transport of air
pollution across the Northern Hemisphere.
In 2010, TF HTAP produced a first comprehensive assessment report
(available under www.htap.org <
http://www.htap.org>).
The ongoing HTAP Phase 2 (HTAP2) exercise, which includes coupled
regional-global modelling,
is designed to provide more detailed intercontinental source-receptor
calculations,
as well as higher resolution estimates of the impacts on health,
vegetation and climate.
*A total a 102 new standard names is proposed for approval: *
1. 20 new standard_names for emission fields (
/tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_*_due_to_emission*/ ; Unit=kg
m-2 s-1)
2. 31 new standard_names for deposition
(/tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content*_due_to_dry_deposition/;
/tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content*_due_to_wet_deposition/; Unit=kg
m-2 s-1)
3. 25**new standard_names for mass mixing ratio of aerosols
(/mass_fraction_of_*_in_air/; Unit=kg kg-1)
4. 7 new standard_names for volume mixing ratio of gases
(/mole_fraction_of_*_in_air/; Unit=mole mole-1)
5. 19 new standard_names for other gaseous and aerosol variables.
In most of the cases, the new part already exists as a standard_name in
itself. Therefore, only definition of *new words* (in bold) are provided.
* means that the new standard name is a shortened (generic) version of
existing one(s)
