Dear all, Is it possible to make suggestion for the small text describing the names in the CF standard name table ?
I yes, I would suggest to modify the text describing
mass_concentration_of_water_vapor_in_air.
The beginning of the sentence is clear, and anybody is able to
understand it ("Mass concentration means mass per unit volume"). But I
think that it may be a valuable addition to write that : "the usual name
of this quantity in Atmospheric Sciences in absolute humidity". I
believe that this would help people searching the standard name table.
Bruno.
