Dear CF community,
In the frame of MyOcean project together with Ocean Colour partners we would like to submit you some new standard name proposals: *surface_reflectance (1) àCF already propose 'surface_albedo', so from this basis we propose to extend it with a less specific quantity. *depth_of_disappearance_from_surface (m) àA quantity that is usually known as Secchi disk depth. I must admit I am not very satisfied with this proposal because the first thing that come into our mind is 'depth of disappearance of what?'. I do not know how to translate Secchi depth in a "CF way", so I'm very open to any suggestions. For non experts in ocean turbidity measurement hereafter two links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secchi_disk (the Wikipedia page - what would we become without Wikipedia..) and http://www.eoearth.org/article/Secchi_disk. Thank you for your help and comments. Best regards, Olivier. Olivier LAURET CLS - Space Oceanography Division 8-10 rue Hermes, 31520 Ramonville St.Agne France Tel.
