[CF-metadata] How to build CF-compliant monthly mean diurnal cycles

2016-02-10 Thread Bodas-Salcedo, Alejandro
Dear CF community, I am trying to create a dataset that contains monthly mean diurnal cycles of radiative fluxes (i.e. the average day of each month), but I am not sure how to do this in a CF-compliant way. Example 7.10 does this for one month (Section 7.4 on Climatological statistics), so it

Dear All, I'd like to propose a new standard name, which as far as I can see doesn't currently exist in the CF table: Name: aerosol_single_scattering_albedo Units: 1 Description: Fraction of radiation scattered out of a pencil of radiation after one encounter with an aerosol particle for a

Dear All, I would like to propose new standard names for liquid and ice cloud fractions (as far as I can see, they don't exist). I am not sure if they follow the spirit of the CF conventions because cloud phase is not a well defined concept. I would appreciate your comments on this. Regards,

Dear CF list, I'd like to propose the following standard name: volume_extinction_coefficient_in_air_due_to_cloud Units: m-1 Definition, following the aerosol extinction coefficient: The volume extinction coefficient is the fractional change of radiative flux per unit path length. Extinction is

2010-10-20 Thread Bodas-Salcedo, Alejandro
Dear All, Do we need to include any reference to instrument, platform or satellite? It seems to me that the complexity arises because the reference lines from which the angle is defined are different in different applications. Wouldn't it be better to use zenith_angle and scan_angle with respect
