Dear All, There is a need to introduce a number of new standard names to describe cloud, aerosol and radiation quantities that will be output from climate models as part of the CMIP5 project. The attached spreadsheet lists the proposed name, unit and a brief explanation for each new model output quantity.
The list of quantities and their explanations are taken from the most recently published version of the CMIP5 outputs document, dated 8 July 2010 - see http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/output_req.html?submenuheader=2#req_lis t. I have tried as far as possible to ensure consistency between the current proposals and existing standard names. I still need to clarify the definition of the quantity in row 5 which seems to contradict the proposed long name. The units and definition in row 11 also need some clarification. In all other respects I think that this list of names is fairly straightforward. Comments on all these names are now invited.
