Go back to Air Quality/Chemistry Naming Conventions


UNFINISHED - WORK IN PROGRESS Version update

Table 1: Concept of construction of new names

Table 1 provides the basic ideas of a concept for the construction of standard_names for aerosols and chemistry. The ideas in table 1 are mainly based on the PRISM project (Peter van Velthoven) see PRISM Standard Name Tables, latest Version, V 1.3

Remarks

  • all forcing variables are still missing
  • articles and prepositions should be avoided
  • allways give atmosphere/ocean/soil?
  • try to use SI units (e.g. not hours but seconds)
  • how to distinguish ion - radicals, e.g. NO3 ?


Construction
proposed CF name
Compartement unit remark
atmosphere atmosphere
in_air in air
in_sea_water in sea water
in_troposphere in troposphere

at_surface at surface
surface surface
concentration/mixing ratio/column unit
column vertically integrated mass kg/m2 content=column, should not be used any longer, not self-explaining
mole_fraction_of_X_compartment gases ppv, 1
mass_concentration_of_X_compartment aerosols mass kg/m3

chemical_net_production_of_A_in_atmosphere kg/m3/s
optical properties / forcing
optical_depth_due_to_X aerosol optical depth (X_aerosol) 1 atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_X

is defined by CF, however: 1) very long name, 2) does not fit with cloud_optical_depth, 3) is there any opt. depth not in the atmosphere? therefore suggestion of this new name/alias"
