Rob,
The likely answer is simply that no one has asked for the other. The
standard names table grows as people request the names.
Grace and peace,
Jim

Hello All,
I would like to ask about the inconsistent use of forms for parameters
reported in the CF standard names table. For example, nitrate is
listed in *moles_of_X_per_unit_mass_in_Y* and
*mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y*, whereas nitrite is listed only in
mole_of_X_per_unit_mass_in_Y.
Is there a reason a parameter may not be defined in
mass_concentration_of_X_in_Y, but would be in both
moles_of_X_per_unit_mass_in_Y and mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y?
Thank you,
Rob ||
