Proposed by Martin Juckes to make CMIP6 OMIP names consistent with recently added isotope names mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_carbon14_in_sea_water -> mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_14C_in_sea_water surface_downward_mass_flux_of_carbon14_dioxide_abiotic_analogue_expressed_as_carbon -> surface_downward_mass_flux_of_14C_dioxide_abiotic_analogue_expressed_as_carbon surface_downward_mass_flux_of_carbon13_dioxide_abiotic_analogue_expressed_as_carbon13 -> surface_downward_mass_flux_of_13C_dioxide_abiotic_analogue_expressed_as_13C mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_carbon13_in_sea_water -> mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_13C_in_sea_water 3. Modifications to units of existing names Martin Juckes reported a typographical error in the unit of surface_ratio_of_upwelling_radiance_emerging_from_sea_water_to_downwelling_radiative_flux_in_air. The unit has now been corrected to read sr-1 (i.e. inverse steradians). The name was introduced in V13 of the standard name table in March 2010 with the units incorrectly written as sr^-1 and the typo has persisted ever since, so many thanks to Martin for spotting it! 4. Modifications to definitions of existing names a. Transformed eulerian mean Martin Juckes has provided a definition for "transformed_eulerian_mean" : 'The "Transformed Eulerian Mean" refers to a formulation of the mean equations which incorporates some eddy terms into the definition of the mean, described in Andrews et al (1987): Middle Atmospheric Dynamics. Academic Press.' This sentence has been added to the definitions of two existing names: eastward_transformed_eulerian_mean_air_velocity northward_transformed_eulerian_mean_air_velocity. b. Plants and plant respiration A number of plant carbon content and plant respiration names have been given new aliases in this update. In addition, Martin Juckes has provided updated definitions for "plant" and "plant_respiration". These have been added at the same time as creating the aliases. Plants: 'The term "plants" refers to the kingdom of plants in the modern classification which excludes fungi. Plants are autotrophs i.e. "producers" of biomass using carbon obtained from carbon dioxide.' (This one applies to all names that mention plants, miscellaneous living matter, and named plant parts such as leaf, stem and root). Plant respiration: 'Plant respiration is the sum of respiration by parts of plants both above and below the soil. It is assumed that all the respired carbon dioxide is emitted to the atmosphere.' --- ------ Alison Pamment Tel: +44 1235 778065 NCAS/Centre for Environmental Data Archival Email: alison.pamment at stfc.ac.uk STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory R25, 2.22 Harwell Oxford, Didcot, OX11 0QX, U.K.Received on Wed Apr 18 2018 - 09:50:45 BST
