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. [[User:Rhusar|Rhusar]] 22:12, 18 April 2006 (CDT)

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
