Yes, indeed. Thanks!

I think ?in the river channel? should be ?in the river channel and flood plane?
Looks good otherwise.

Dear Rich, All,
Thanks for proposing the river discharge name. The discussion so far
seems to be leading towards introducing a single name:
water_volume_transport_in_river (canonical units: m3 s-1).
At the moment we don't have a definition for this name so I'm suggesting
the following (based on existing definitions):
' The water flux or volume transport in rivers is the amount of water
flowing in the river channel. Water means water in all phases.'
Is this OK? Do we need to elaborate any further? I think if we can settle on
the definition, this name can be accepted for addition to the standard name
table.
Best wishes,
Alison

I would wait till people have a use case that can drive specific names.

Dave,
Do you think we should also introduce other water_volume_transport
quantities together to make this clear?
water_volume_transport_in_river_channel
water_volume_transport_over_land
water_volume_transport_in_???

I actually suggested ?in river channel? to rich because of the potential
to
segregate into flow in fluvial sediments below the channel or in a
floodplain disconnected from the channel, etc.
Cheers!

Dear Rich
How about a new standard_name called:
"water_volume_transport_in_river_channel"
with canonical units "m3/s" ?
That's certainly a reasonable quantity to give a name too. Is "channel"
necessary?
Best wishes
Jonathan
