HI all -
Could someone please provide a link to the other proposed wave names? I'm
not sure what the CF proposal page means.
Thanks - Nan
others (mostly period and direction) are still "under
discussion" on the "CF proposal page".

Dear Stephane,
I have just returned from teaching a course last week. I’m aware that
the wave names have been waiting some time and will publish my
comments to the mailing list this week.
Best wishes,
Alison

Dear Alison,

Any news on the wave period and wave direction proposals ?
I'm sorry to rush you, but wave products will soon be officialy
launched in Copernicus Marine Service and we are expecting those
standard names to be published prior.
Best regards

Dear Elodie,
Thank you for reminding me about the two geostrophic names. I agree that these two
are pretty straight forward. At Nan's suggestion, I've expanded slightly on our standard
definition text of "geostrophic", bearing in mind that it applies equally to
ocean and atmosphere circulation.
So now we have:
geostrophic_eastward_sea_water_velocity (canonical units: m s-1)
'A velocity is a vector quantity. "Eastward" indicates a vector component which is
positive when directed eastward (negative westward). "Geostrophic" indicates that
geostrophic balance is assumed, i.e. that the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force are
balanced and the large scale fluid flow is parallel to the isobars.'
geostrophic_northward_sea_water_velocity (canonical units: m s-1)
'A velocity is a vector quantity. "Northward" indicates a vector component which is
positive when directed northward (negative southward). "Geostrophic" indicates that
geostrophic balance is assumed, i.e. that the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force are
balanced and the large scale fluid flow is parallel to the isobars.'
These two names are accepted for inclusion in the standard name table and
will be added in the February update.

Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] Standard name and area type tables updated
Dear Alison, dear all,
Back in September, I suggested the addition of new standard names
"geostrophic_eastward_sea_water_velocity" and
"geostrophic_northward_sea_water_velocity" (see
http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2016/059015.html).
There have been quite a few updates of the tables since, but those names
are not included yet. Is there anything I could/should do to get them
included?
In April, there were also discussions on the inclusion of wave standard
names. The height parameters have been included in table v35 in July.
But the others (mostly period and direction) are still "under
discussion" on the "CF proposal page". Any news on that topic?
Regards,
Elodie
