Hello all, we had a question come up for the "sea_water_ph_reported_on_total_scale" standard name: it appears that for some communities, in particular on the measurement side, pH would regularly be reported only after first having converted to its equivalent at standard conditions (25C, 0dbar). In other communities, pH would most regularly be reported at in-situ conditions (temperature and pressure at actual measurement spot).
While we assume that the CF conventions would implicitly assume values to be reported at in-situ conditions (i.e., the latter variant), my two questions are: 1) whether someone can confirm this, to be 100% certain?, and 2) whether adding a few according clarifying words to the description would be seen as useful?
