Hi John,
Sorry for the long delay.
The names we are suggesting, with definition and units, are the
following:
Ocean Kinetic Energy
standard name: ocean_kinetic_energy
unit: m2 s-2
definition: ocean kinetic energy is the energy of the ocean currents as
measured by their eastward/northward velocity.
Ocean Relative Vorticy
standard name: ocean_relative_vorticity
unit: s-1
definition: relative vorticity is the upward component of the relative
vorticity vector i.e. the component which arises from horizontal
velocity.
Gravity Potential Gradient
standard name: gravity_potential_gradient
unit: s-2
definition: gravitational potential gradient is defined as the rate of
change of gravitational potential with distance in the field.
Radius from Geocenter
standard_name: radius_from_geocenter
unit: m
definition: a measure of distance from Earth's geocenter, commonly used
in the satellite tracks.
Let me know if you need more information.
Kind regards,
