Hi Jonanthan I was wondering what happened to these proposals?
They aren’t in the current list, and they don’t show in the Proposals fro CF (http://cfeditor.ceda.ac.uk/proposals/1) Regards Helen On 27 Nov 2014, at 15:29, Lowry, Roy K. <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Dear Jonathan, A minor point - should be distance_from_geocenter as established practice is to use US spellings. Cheers, Roy. ________________________________________ From: Jonathan Gregory [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: 27 November 2014 14:17 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] Standard Names for: Ocean Kinetic Energy and Relative Vorticity Dear Napoleon Ocean Kinetic Energy standard name: ocean_kinetic_energy unit: m2 s-2 With those units, this is specific kinetic energy i.e. per unit mass. There is an existing stdname for this quantity viz specific_kinetic_energy_of_sea_water. Ocean Relative Vorticy standard name: ocean_relative_vorticity unit: s-1 That's analogous to atmosphere_relative_vorticity so I think it's fine. Gravity Potential Gradient standard name: gravity_potential_gradient unit: s-2 There is an existing stdname of specific_gravitational_potential_energy in J kg-1 = m2 s-2. Since taking a gradient has a sign and direction, your quantity could be called upward_derivative_of_specific_gravitational_potential_energy for consistency with other names for derivatives, and it's in m s-2, isn't it? - not s-2. However this quantity could also, more familiarly, be called the acceleration_due_to_gravity i.e. g. Is it g you mean? I suppose g is the vertical derivative of geopotential, which isn't quite the same as GPE. Are you making a distinction here? Radius from Geocenter standard_name: radius_from_geocenter unit: m I would suggest calling this distance_from_geocentre. A radius is a property of a geometrical figure, not a distance between two points.
