Go back to Start page for Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol Names PLEASE DO NOT USE THE NAVIGATION BAR ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE!
The Standard Name Table is maintained through the metadata mailing list. Given the formal concensus-based procedure and the broad acceptance of the CF conventions in the met/ocean communities, it is a very attractive model for creating an Air Chemistry extension to the exisiting Standard Names.
As of April 7, 2006, the CF 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 |
