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:
CF standard name | canonical unit |
aerosol_angstrom_exponent | 1,00E+00 |
atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_aerosol | 1,00E+00 |
atmosphere_content_of_sulfate_aerosol | kg m-2 |
atmosphere_sulfate_content | kg m-2 |
mass_concentration_of_sulfate_aerosol_in_air | kg m-3 |
biomass_burning_carbon_flux ?? aerosol ? gas ? | kg m-2 s-1 |
mass_fraction_of_dimethyl_sulfide_in_air | 1 |
mass_fraction_of_ozone_in_air | 1 |
mass_fraction_of_sulfur_dioxide_in_air | 1 |
mole_fraction_of_ozone_in_air | 1 |
equivalent_pressure_of_atmosphere_ozone_content | Pa |
equivalent_thickness_at_stp_of_atmosphere_ozone_content | m |
mass_fraction_of_ozone_in_air | 1,00E+00 |
mole_fraction_of_ozone_in_air | 1,00E+00 |
atmosphere_water_content | kg m-2 |
surface_carbon_dioxide_mole_flux | mol s-2 s-1 |
specific_humidity | kg/kg moist air |
humidity_mixing_ratio | kg/kg dry air |
atmosphere_water_vapor_content | kg m-2 |
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)
