Dear Jonathan and Pierre, Thank you both for your comments on the CMIP5 carbon cycle names. Looking back through this thread I think we have resolved all the outstanding issues and so the following names are now accepted for inclusion in the standard name table:
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbo n_due_to_anthropogenic_emission; kg m-2 s-1 tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbo n_due_to_emission_from_fossil_fuel_combustion; kg m-2 s-1 surface_upward_mass_flux_of_carbon_due_to_natural_emission; kg m-2 s-1 atmosphere_mass_of_carbon_dioxide; kg carbon_content_of_products_of_land_use_change; kg m-2 surface_upward_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_emissio n_from_fires_excluding_land_use_change; kg m-2 s-1 surface_upward_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_emissio n_from_grazing; kg m-2 s-1 surface_upward_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_emissio n_from_crop_harvesting; kg m-2 s-1 surface_net_upward_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_emi ssion_from_anthropogenic_land_use_change; kg m-2 s-1 surface_net_downward_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_p hotosynthesis_and_respiration_and_fires_including_land_use_change; kg m-2 s-1 carbon_flux_into_soil_from_litter; kg m-2 s-1 carbon_flux_into_soil_from_vegetation_excluding_litter; kg m-2 s-1 leaf_carbon_content; kg m-2 wood_carbon_content; kg m-2 root_carbon_content; kg m-2 carbon_content_of_miscellaneous_living_matter; kg m-2 (N.B. 'miscellaneous' means carbon content of living matter apart from those individually named in the preceding three items) wood_debris_carbon_content; kg m-2 surface_litter_carbon_content; kg m-2 subsurface_litter_carbon_content; kg m-2 fast_soil_pool_carbon_content; kg m-2 medium_soil_pool_carbon_content; kg m-2 slow_soil_pool_carbon_content; kg m-2 surface_upward_carbon_flux_due_to_plant_respiration_for_biomass_growth; kg m-2 s-1 surface_upward_carbon_flux_due_to_plant_respiration_for_biomass_maintena nce; kg m-2 s-1 net_primary_productivity_of_carbon_accumulated_in_leaves; kg m-2 s-1 net_primary_productivity_of_carbon_accumulated_in_wood; kg m-2 s-1 net_primary_productivity_of_carbon_accumulated_in_roots; kg m-2 s-1 surface_net_downward_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_p hotosynthesis_and_respiration_and_fires_excluding_land_use_change; kg m-2 s-1. To cope with the various fractional vegetation coverage quantities we will use the existing standard name area_fraction and introduce new entries of primary_evergreen_trees, secondary_deciduous_trees, secondary_evergreen_trees, C3_plant_functional_types, C4_plant_functional_types into the area_type table.
