Revision as of 11:00, June 8, 2006
Go back to Air Quality/Chemistry Naming Conventions
UNFINISHED - WORK IN PROGRESS Version update
- first version 22 May 2006

comments to ChristianeTextor are highly welcome! see also our discussion
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 ?

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" |
