Dear Jonathan, Thank you for the feedback. Then, the three new variable names should be:
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_due_to_dry_deposition tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_due_to_wet_deposition tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_due_to_deposition Best, Daniel ---------------------------- Daniel Neumann Doktorand Chemietransportmodellierung PhD Student Chemistry Transport Modelling Tel.: +49 (0) 41 52 / 87 - 2368 Fax: +49 (0) 41 52 / 87 - 2332 [email protected] -----"CF-metadata" <[email protected]> schrieb: ----- An: [email protected] Von: Jonathan Gregory Gesendet von: "CF-metadata" Datum: 10.08.2016 14:44 Betreff: [CF-metadata] Proposal to introduce three new standard names for nitrogen deposition Dear Daniel Thanks for your proposal. I'm not an expert on the chemical aspect but it make sense to me to have aggregated names for nitrogen. This would be the mass of nitrogen in all species, yes? "Total" is not needed because CF standard names assume that everything is meant (as with nitrogen!) unless there is a qualification. In fact the phrase due_to_deposition is already in use.
