Are we able to compare the data with these standard names. I think this is the sulfur problem: In our case sulfur is: SO2(gas),H2SO4(gas),SO4(aerosol),DMS(gas). I would like to discuss this.
You proposed some standard names like atmosphere_*_in_air I must say it is not totally clear for me what processes should be described with atmosphere or in_air. I know Jonathan tried to answer this. >The Guidelines for Construction of CF Standard Names >http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/guidelines >state for 'atmosphere' under 'Special Phrases': >'atmosphere: >used instead of in_air for quantities which are large-scale rather than local ' 7.11.08 Jonathan's email But I think we can't use both in one standard name. Is that right? If yes, this could be a building rule. atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_sulfate_ambient_aerosol atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_ambient_aerosol atmosphere_absorption_optical_thickness_due_to_ambient_aerosol I proposed these three names before. I know the lists are very long.
