Dear All,

following heroic efforts by Alison, Chris and others, there are only two terms 
remaining in the C4MIP request that need new standard names. Both are simple 
variations of names that have recently been approved.

  1.  nppStem  Net Primary Production Allocated to Stem [kg m-2 s-1]


For the related variables nppOther and nppLeaf respetively, we have 
net_primary_productivity_of_biomass_expressed_as_carbon_accumulated_in_miscellaneous_living_matter,
 and 
net_primary_productivity_of_biomass_expressed_as_carbon_accumulated_in_leaves.


Adapting the latter for stems, I propose:

net_primary_productivity_of_biomass_expressed_as_carbon_accumulated_in_stems

2.  fNAnthDisturb nitrogen mass flux out of land due to any human activity [kg 
m-2 s-1]

This is the nitrogen equivalent of  fAnthDisturb which has standard name:

tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_anthropogenic_emission


Following existing usage, this can be adapted as:

tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_compounds_expressed_as_nitrogen_due_to_anthropogenic_emission


Note, however, the discussion here: 
http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2018/060106.html, in which 
Jonathan has questioned this kind of use of "expressed_as".


regards,

Martin
