Hello CF
We have a requirement to calculate volume integrals for a large range of model
diagnostics. We would like a method to correctly identify these derived fields.
I am interested in creating a new cell_method, an integral, which would allow
us to use this approach with any standard name.
Such a cell method will necessarily alter the units of the quantity by a factor
dependent on the dimensions integrated over.
For example, I would like to store a data variable:
double deltaSeaIron(time, depth, lat, lon)
deltaSeaIron:standard_name =
"tendency_of_mole_concentration_of_iron_in_sea_water_due_to_biological_production"
;
deltaSeaIron:units = "mol s-1" ;
deltaSeaIron:cell_methods = "depth: lat: lon: integral" ;
I would very much value initial feedback from the community on these thoughts
before I raise a ticket suggesting a change.
thank you
mark
