All ocean modelers report pH at in situ conditions. Some ocean observers report
pH corrected to 25°C, but when doing so they often call that pH25. Many ocean
observationalists report in situ pH, for example from data collected on buoys or
ARGO floats equiped with pH sensors.
Would it make
Dear Chris,
My understanding (based on memory not research of the archives) was that this
statement was deliberate to allow a single Standard Name to cover a field that
is spatial distribution of the velocity of a water body at the point where it
is in contact with the atmosphere whether or
Dear James,
I'm not sure this is that much different to changing the definition of the
current Standard Name to make it 'in-situ specific'. Two new Standard Names
would be needed - one for explicit in-situ and one for explicit 25C if backward
compatibility is to be maintained. However, as I
Thank you Alison!
We (Kevin Marsh and myself) are happy with the amended definitions you
proposed.
only one minor tweak in the last sentence of the
"steric_change_in_sea_surface_height" definition: I would add "_height" at the
end of "steric_change_in_sea_surface". I assume it was intended
OK Jonathan,
If you're sure I'll trust your 'corporate memory'. In which case Ute's issue is
resolved with no need for further new Standard Names, just a change to the
definitions of two existing names.
Cheers, Roy.

Dear Roy, Chris et al.
It's possible that it was intentional, but I would tend to think that it is
more like cut-and-paste as Chris says, because in a previous system (and this
name is very old, I think) we generated the help text automatically, including
certain sentences if certain phrases were
Dear Sebastien and Alison
Sorry to come back to this late, but in view of a more recent discussion, it's
occurred to me that we should put mean_sea_level rather than sea_surface_height
in these three names. By sea_surface_height we mean its instantaneous level,
but when we speak of steric SL
