Yeay :) > The quantity was specifically for ozone, but can easily be proposed for > other species. I guess I'll need some help with that. > The title of the email discussion was: "new standard name proposal for total > ozone in DU". I checked that discussion and do agree with everything said there. Now some specific questions, the most important one is the first: * The canonical way to specify tropospheric NO2 columns in molecules cm^-2 would be to use the standard name "mole_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide_in_troposphere_layer", or rather "troposphere_mole_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide", together with a units attribute of "molecules cm^-2"? * What can I do for "atmosphere_mole_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide_between_surface_and_XhPa", where X is 500? * What about "atmosphere_mole_content_of_nitrogen_dioxide_between_XhPa_and_tropopause", where X is 500? The latter two are most probably quantities which are of no interest to most, but I currently have to deal with them and would like to be as standards-compliant as possible. On the other hand, I don't think that it's necessary to create a new standard for this. Thanks for your suggestions!
