Dear Alison, all,
thanks for bringing this to a conclusion, and thank you also for your
thoughtful comment. I like your idea of broadening the definitions somewhat to
allow for a little more flexibility in the practical use without having to
invent new standard_names for every new combination of sectors. I am only
wondering (but this should be a discussion under a different thread), whether
"comment" is the right attribute for such things. Without having checked the
standard_name table for this, I assume that there are some other occasions
where additional clarification is at least useful if not mandatory. "Comment"
is rather general and optional. For the sake of improving CF to become better
suited for interoperability purposes, it may be a good idea to either formalize
the way the "comment" attribute shall be used (the standard_name table could
indicate if there should be a comment attribute available for any given
standard_name), or, alternatively, to extend the syntax of standard_names to
add "mandatory" or "recommended" comments right there (for example
"tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_monoxide_due_to_emission_from_energy_production_and_distribution:
IPCC source categories 1A1 and 1B as defined in the 2006 IPCC guidelines for
national greenhouse gas inventories".)
With this, I hope that we can close the discussion on the emission names soon
and let them see the light of the next table.
Best regards,
Martin

Dear Martin, All,
Martin Schultz proposed a set of emission names about 12 months ago and there
has been some sporadic discussion since. I would like to draw this discussion
to a conclusion so that we are in a position to include these quantities, which
are clearly of fundamental importance to the climate community, in the standard
name table.
To summarize the situation so far: [...]
