Dear all,

I would like to propose two new standard names:

mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_nitrogen_in_sea_water
mole_concentration_of_particulate_organic_nitrogen_in_sea_water

A similar standard name for "dissolved inorganic phosphorus" exists already. Moreover, a few tendency/flux standard names exist for "dissolved inorganic nitrogen" and "particulate organic nitrogen". The descriptions and units are given below.

Regards,
Daniel


name:
mole_concentration_of_dissolved_inorganic_nitrogen_in_sea_water

description:
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". "Dissolved inorganic nitrogen" means the sum of all inorganic nitrogen in solution (including nitrate, ammonia, and nitrite).

unit:
mol m-3


name:
mole_concentration_of_particulate_organic_nitrogen_in_sea_water

description:
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". "Particulate organic nitrogen" means the sum of all organic nitrogen compounds, which are solid or which are bound to solid particles.

unit:
mol m-3
