Hi John, Sorry for the long delay.
The names we are suggesting, with definition and units, are the following: Ocean Kinetic Energy standard name: ocean_kinetic_energy unit: m2 s-2 definition: ocean kinetic energy is the energy of the ocean currents as measured by their eastward/northward velocity. Ocean Relative Vorticy standard name: ocean_relative_vorticity unit: s-1 definition: relative vorticity is the upward component of the relative vorticity vector i.e. the component which arises from horizontal velocity. Gravity Potential Gradient standard name: gravity_potential_gradient unit: s-2 definition: gravitational potential gradient is defined as the rate of change of gravitational potential with distance in the field. Radius from Geocenter standard_name: radius_from_geocenter unit: m definition: a measure of distance from Earth's geocenter, commonly used in the satellite tracks. Let me know if you need more information.
