Re: [CF-metadata] proposed new standard name for storm surge residual

Dear Andy Thanks for this. I have few comments to add because our thoughts are pretty much the same, I'm glad to say. I am a bit uncomfortable with the phrase "SSH due to X" anyway, because SSH has no meaning except wrt a datum, not in an absolute sense. The phrase "due to X" aptly describes

I agree, but just wanted to chime in that I appreciate that the definitions spell out the meanings of these terms. - Nan On 4/26/18 10:59 AM, Lowry, Roy K. wrote: Dear Evan, To an oceanographer, the term 'sigma-theta' is as well-known as 'temperature' and the Standard Names include

Jonathon, Roy, Steven, Many thanks for your advice on these. Just to summarise, the proposed CF names, units and descriptors following our discussions are listed below. Have a great weekend everyone Andy sea_surface_tertiary_swell_wave_from_direction units: degree The quantity with standard

Re: [CF-metadata] PMIP (including 1 or more that originated in C4MIP) Standard Names: Carbon and Nitrogen terms

Dear Jonathan, Alison, (a) carbon_dioxide vs. 13C_dioxide: I agree that carbon_dioxide is correct and clearer; (b) surface_upward_mass_flux_of_nitrogen_compounds_expressed_as_nitrogen: I selected the shorter form (surface_upward_mass_flux_of_nitrogen) for consistency with terms such as

Re: [CF-metadata] PMIP Standard names: isotopic fluxes, mass contents and ratios.

Dear Alison, I accept your suggestion for 1,2,5,6,7,8: I've highlighted in yellow the parts of the names which should be removed, and in blue parts I've added to bring the terms into the suggested form. 3,4,9: For names which refer to water molecules containing one 2H atom and one 1H atom you

Re: [CF-metadata] C4MIP: final two terms for CMIP6

Dear Martin, Thank you for proposing these two C4MIP names. They both look good to me - I've added some definitions. 1. CMIP6 sort name nppStem. Net Primary Production Allocated to Stem > For the related variables nppOther and nppLeaf respetively, we have >

Re: [CF-metadata] PMIP (including 1 or more that originated in C4MIP) Standard Names: Carbon and Nitrogen terms

Dear Jonathan, Well spotted! I think they should all say 'mass_content'. So we should have nitrogen_mass_content_of_forestry_and_agricultural_products (kg m-2) for nProduct soil_mass_content_of_nitrogen (kg m-2) for nSoil. I will update them in the standard names editor. They will still be

Re: [CF-metadata] PMIP (including 1 or more that originated in C4MIP) Standard Names: Carbon and Nitrogen terms

Dear Alison Yes, I agree with Martin's 13C and 14C names, which I queried. I also agree with you about nitrogen_compounds_expressed_as_nitrogen. Reading through this list, I compared these: > litter_mass_content_of_nitrogen (kg m-2) > nitrogen_content_of_forestry_and_agricultural_products (kg

Re: [CF-metadata] PMIP (including 1 or more that originated in C4MIP) Standard Names: Carbon and Nitrogen terms

Dear Martin and Jonathan, Thank you for proposing these new carbon and nitrogen standard names for PMIP and for the discussion. I think these proposals are looking good and I have accepted many of them. I do have one question that relates to proposals 6-11 regarding 13C_dioxide and

Dear Jonathan, I totally agree with Andy on this point. Cheers, Roy. Please note that I partially retired on 01/11/2015. I am now only working 7.5 hours a week and can only guarantee e-mail response on Wednesdays, my day in the office. All vocabulary queries should be sent to

Dear Jonathon, Before I put in a version for all the components, does the form of the below look OK? sea_surface_wave_directional_spread units: degree Directional spread represents the (one-sided) directional width of the wave directional spectrum, S(t,x,y,f,theta) where t is time, x and y are

Re: [CF-metadata] proposed new standard name for storm surge residual

Dear Jonathon, Thought I was so close... :-) But concerned that I am missing something, so I could do with some clarification before suggesting another iteration. So please can you comment on the below. The thing that I am failing to understand is the relationship between sea_surface_height
