[CF-metadata] Suggestion for a new entry to the list of CF standard names

Dear CF-metadata subscribers,
I would like to suggest a new entry to the list of CF standard names:

standard name: Ozone number density
alternatively: Ozone number concentration
unit: molecules/m^3

Some ozone satellite instruments (like the ?Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment?, SAGE, or the ?Polar Ozone and Aerosol Measurment?, POAM) measure ozone in their native unit number density (number of ozone molecules that are present in a m^3 of air).
We want to add an ozone data set to the National Climate Data Center (NCDC), and have to be CF compliant. Ozone number density does not seem to be on the CF standard names list, and we would therefore like to add it.

Kind regards,
Birgit Hassler
