Dear all and especially the cf-metadata crew, My colleagues and I apply for an expansion of the table of chemical species ( http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/docs/guidelines.html#id2799094 ): methane.
We apply to include partial_pressure_of_methane_in_sea_water (units: Pa) with following description: The partial pressure of a dissolved gas in sea water is the partial pressure in air with which it would be in equilibrium. The partial pressure of a gaseous constituent of air is the pressure which it alone would exert with unchanged temperature and number of moles per unit volume. The description of 'surface_partial_pressure_of_carbon_dioxide_in_sea_water' includes the sentence "Water" means water in all phases, including frozen i.e. ice and snow. which does not fit in this context – perhaps is an update possible here. We apply to include the additional standard_name partial_pressure_of_carbon_dioxide_in_sea_water (units: Pa) with the description The partial pressure of a dissolved gas in sea water is the partial pressure in air with which it would be in equilibrium. The partial pressure of a gaseous constituent of air is the pressure which it alone would exert with unchanged temperature and number of moles per unit volume. The reason for this applications is the conversion of our measurement data to cf-conform netCDF.
