Dear Malcolm Thanks for your proposals.
> 1. prcsh shallow_conv_precipitation_flux This would be better as shallow_convective_precipitation_flux for a standard name, as you have written in your longer description. That would be consistent with existing names containing shallow_convective and shallow_convection. > 2. uqint integrated_eastward_wind_times_humidity > 3. vqint integrated_northward_wind_times_humidity It looks like the CF standard names you propose for these are actually > atmosphere_product_of_eastward_wind_and_specific_humidity > atmosphere_product_of_northward_wind_and_specific_humidity It's true that "atmosphere" is used for some names that refer to the whole column, but in these cases it would be clearer to say explicitly that these are vertical integrals of > product_of_eastward_wind_and_specific_humidity > product_of_northward_wind_and_specific_humidity as is done for some other existing names. This is also because you have to specify what the integration is with respect to, since that affects the units of the quantity. The names could be of the form integral_wrt_X_of_product_of_east|northward_wind_and_specific_humidity What would X be? > 4. wbptemp wet_bulb_potential_temperature That would be fine, I think.
