Dear Jonathan,

Yes, I considered "vertical_component_of_curl_of_surface_downward_stress"
too, but decided to propose the shorter one. I quite understand your desire
for consistency of formulation and have no problem accepting your
alternative. However, since we have already tooled up for my proposal, it
would be more *convenient* for us if you choose
"vertical_component_of_surface_downward_stress_curl". Perhaps you could
define it as an alias? Your call.

Best regards,
Bruce
