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:
