Dear All,

No comments have been received regarding the names proposed for DAMIP. I think 
the names, units and definitions are fine, so I am now accepting all these 
names for publication in the standard name table. They will be added in the 
June update.

Best wishes,
Alison

Subject: [CF-metadata] New standard names proposed for DAMIP

Dear All,

I am proposing five new standard names on behalf of Bernd Funke for the CMIP6 
DAMIP.

1. CMIP6 short name jo2.
photolysis_rate_of_molecular_oxygen (s-1) ' "Photolysis" is a chemical reaction 
in which a chemical compound is broken down by photons. The "reaction rate" is 
the rate at which the reactants of a chemical reaction form the products. The 
chemical formula for molecular oxygen is O2.'

2. CMIP6 short name jo3.
photolysis_rate_of_ozone (s-1)
' "Photolysis" is a chemical reaction in which a chemical compound is broken 
down by photons. The "reaction rate" is the rate at which the reactants of a 
chemical reaction form the products. The chemical formula for ozone is O3. The 
IUPAC name for ozone is trioxygen. The quantity with standard name 
photolysis_rate_of_ozone is the rate of photolytic loss of ozone, including all 
possible photolysis channels to form ground state atomic oxygen (O3P ) and 
excited (singlet D) atomic oxygen (O1D). Photolysis to the excited state only 
has the standard name photolysis_rate_of_ozone_to_1D_oxygen_atom.'

3. CMIP6 short name oxloss.
tendency_of_mole_concentration_of_ox_in_air_due_to_chemical_destruction (mol 
m-3 s-1) 'The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to 
time. Mole concentration means number of moles per unit volume, also called 
"molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", 
where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species 
denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase 
such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The term "ox" means a combination of three 
radical species containing 1 or 3 oxygen atoms: O + O1d + O3. The specification 
of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity 
named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general 
quantity named by omitting the phrase. "Chemical destruction" means the result 
of all chemical reactions within the medium (here, atmosphere) that remove a 
certain amount of a particular species from the medium.'

4. CMIP6 short name oxprod.
tendency_of_mole_concentration_of_ox_in_air_due_to_chemical_and_photolytic_production
 (mol m-3 s-1) 'The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect 
to time. Mole concentration means number of moles per unit volume, also called 
"molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", 
where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species 
denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase 
such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The term "ox" means a combination of three 
radical species containing 1 or 3 oxygen atoms: O + O1d + O3. The specification 
of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity 
named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general 
quantity named by omitting the phrase. The phrase "chemical and photolytic 
production" means the result of all chemical and photolytic reactions within 
the medium (here, atmosphere) that produce a certain amount of 
 the particular species.'

5. CMIP6 short name vmrox.
mole_fraction_of_ox_in_air (1)
'Mole fraction is used in the construction "mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y", where X 
is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species denoted by X may be 
described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as 
"nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The term "ox" means a combination of three radical 
species containing 1 or 3 oxygen atoms: O + O1d + O3.'

In addition, Martin has suggested we modify the definition of the existing name 
photolysis_rate_of_ozone_to_1D_oxygen_atom (s-1) to provide a cross-reference 
to the new name proposed in (1).
' "Photolysis" is a chemical reaction in which a chemical compound is broken 
down by photons. The "reaction rate" is the rate at which the reactants of a 
chemical reaction form the products. The chemical formula for ozone is O3. The 
IUPAC name for ozone is trioxygen. "1D oxygen atom" means the singlet D state, 
an excited state, of the oxygen atom. The combined photolysis rate of ozone to 
both excited and ground state oxygen atoms has the standard name 
photolysis_rate_of_ozone.'

My own feeling is that these proposals all look okay, but any questions or 
comments to improve the names would be welcome.

Best wishes,
Alison
