Proposer's name AtMoDat Project - Angelika Heil Date 2021-07-23 - Term: number_concentration_of_biological_taxon_pollen_grains_in_air - Description: "Number concentration" means the number of particles or other specified objects per unit volume. "Pollen grain" refers to the male gametophyte of seed plants (either angiosperms or gymnosperms). The number concentration of pollen grains refers to the number of individual pollen grains per unit volume. "Biological taxon" is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy. There must be an auxiliary coordinate variable with standard name biological_taxon_name to identify the taxon in human readable format and optionally an auxiliary coordinate variable with standard name biological_taxon_identifier to provide a machine-readable identifier. See Section 6.1.2 of the CF convention (version 1.8 or later) for information about biological taxon auxiliary coordinate variables. - Units: m-3
Relevance: Numerical pollen forecasting is nowadays well established, but there are no CF standard names to write out model output in a standardised manner. Reference for definition of "Pollen grain": Galán et al. 2017: Recommended terminology for aerobiological studies, https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://doi.org/10.1007/s10453-017-9496-0__;!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!jfYEPL4qhiNXs8rN7NapOiXbqiKMHZNRNJx0xgBgGNNrAfJbzNDci15RaBi6RigZZvcg0bGoles$ ). The only new sentence in the term description is: "The number concentration of pollen grains refers to the number of individual pollen grains per unit volume. "Biological taxon" is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy." The other sentences are taken from term descriptions of existing standard names. Hello, I would very much appreciate hearing your thoughts on whether this proposal is coherent. Thanks a lot!
