Given the formal concensus-based procedues and the broad acceptance of the CF convnentions in the met/ocean communities, it is a very attractive model for creating an Air Chemistry extention to the exisiting Standard Names.

What links here: CF Standard Names - Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol
The Standard Name Table is maintained through the metadata mailing list. As of April 7, 2006, the table contained 755 standard names, roughly categorized fields:
- Radiation 129
- Hydrology 128
- Surface 114
- Atmosphere Dynamics 95
- Cloud 41
- Sea Ice 30
- Ocean Dynamics 17
- Carbon Cycle 16
- Other 185
*Total 755
Among the 'Other' registered standard names one finds a handful of names relevant to air chemistry/air quality:
aerosol_angstrom_exponent
atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_aerosol
atmosphere_sulfate_content
biomass_burning_carbon_flux
mass_concentration_of_sulfate_aerosol_in_air
mass_fraction_of_dimethyl_sulfide_in_air
mass_fraction_of_ozone_in_air
mass_fraction_of_sulfur_dioxide_in_air
mole_fraction_of_ozone_in_air
Given the formal concensus-based procedues and the broad acceptance of the CF convnentions in the met/ocean communities, it is a very attractive model for creating an Air Chemistry extention to the exisiting Standard Names. Rhusar 22:12, 18 April 2006 (CDT)

biomass_burning_carbon_flux ?? aerosol ? gas ? | kg m-2 s-1 | ||
mass_fraction_of_dimethyl_sulfide_in_air | 1 | kg m-2 | "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area.
"Aerosol" means the suspended liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets). |
mass_fraction_of_ozone_in_air | 1 | kg m-2 | "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area.
The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. |
mass_fraction_of_sulfur_dioxide_in_air | 1 | kg m-3 | Mass concentration means mass per unit volume
and is used in the construction mass_concentration_of_X_in_Y, where X is a material constituent of Y. "Aerosol" means the suspended liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets). |
