Hi Jonathan, Since these quantities will be calculated in Local North Oriented Frame (LNOF), I would like to submit these names for the gradients:
northward_derivative_of_acceleration_due_to_gravity (Txx) westward_derivative_of_acceleration_due_to_gravity (Tyy) upward_derivative_of_acceleration_due_to_gravity (Tzz) northward_upward_derivative_of_acceleration_due_to_gravity (Txz) northward_westward_derivative_of_acceleration_due_to_gravity (Txy) westward_upward_derivative_of_acceleration_due_to_gravity (Tyz) Let me know if these seem appropriate. All with unit: s-2. Regards, On Wed, 2014-12-17 at 13:34 +0000, Jonathan Gregory wrote: > Dear Napoleon > > > Is it the convention to include the direction in the name?
