Dear Alison

> We have four existing volume scattering names:
> volume_scattering_function_of_radiative_flux_in_sea_water
> volume_scattering_coefficient_of_radiative_flux_in_sea_water
> volume_scattering_coefficient_in_air_due_to_ambient_aerosol_particles
> volume_scattering_coefficient_in_air_due_to_dried_aerosol_particles.
> I notice that both the sea_water ones say 'of_radiative_flux' while neither of the 'air' names do. I think it does make sense to specify what is being scattered so I suggest we modify the current proposal to:
> volume_scattering_function_of_radiative_flux_in_air_due_to_ambient_aerosol_particles
> and that we also create aliases for the existing in_air names.

Yes, I agree. Good idea.

> 3. integral_wrt_time_of_mole_stomatal_uptake_of_ozone (mol m-2 s-1)

That's good too. I agree that if it's a time-integral it should be mol m-2.
Well-spotted. I hope it's right in the CMIP6 tables.

Best wishes

Jonathan
