Great :-) . Then I would like to propose the following two new standard
names:
moles_of_nitrogen_per_unit_area_in_seabed_sediment
unit: mol/m2
description: moles_of_X_per_unit_area_in_Y describes the amount of X in
a column with unity base area of material/compartment Y. 'Sediment'
means particulate matter bound at the sea floor. Information on the
location of the interface between water column and sediment can be
provided via the comment attribute.
and
moles_of_silicate_expressed_as_silicon_per_unit_area_in_seabed_sediment
unit: mol/m2
description: moles_of_X_per_unit_area_in_Y describes the amount of X in
a column with unity base area of material/compartment Y. 'Sediment'
means particulate matter bound at the sea floor. Information on the
location of the interface between water column and sediment can be
provided via the comment attribute.
Cheers,
Daniel
