Dear Jonathan and Christiane, I agree that a consistent placing of 'expressed_as' would be an improvement. Hence, the following aliases will be created in the standard name table:
mole_concentration_of_diatoms_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen becomes mole_concentration_of_diatoms_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water mole_concentration_of_mesozooplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen becomes mole_concentration_of_mesozooplankton_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water mole_concentration_of_microzooplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitroge n becomes mole_concentration_of_microzooplankton_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_wate r mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitroge n becomes mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_wate r mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_in_sea_water_expressed_as_silicon becomes mole_concentration_of_organic_detritus_expressed_as_silicon_in_sea_water mole_concentration_of_phytoplankton_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen becomes mole_concentration_of_phytoplankton_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water This positioning of 'expressed_as' immediately following the species to which it applies has also been agreed in the ECHAM5-hammoz and 'CF standard names for chemical constituents and aerosols' threads.
