Dear all, My next question will concern aerosols.
I'm looking for a CF standard name for aerosol size distributions expressed in numbers concentrations. "number_concentration_of_ambient_aerosol_in_air" is the name of the physical parameter, but I also need to express the fact that I have partial counts for a list of size classes. My first guess would have been "size_distribution_of_number_concentration_of_ambient_aerosol_in_air", but, in the "Guidelines for Construction of CF Standard Names", The most appropriate transformation seems to be : "histogram_of_X[_over_Z]". So, I come to : "histogram_of_number_concentration_of_ambient_aerosol_in_air_over_size". But : http://puma.nerc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/cf-checker.pl reports : Checking variable: mic_conctab_SPP200_sync_1 ------------------ ERROR (3.3): Invalid standard_name: histogram_of_number_concentration_of_ambient_aerosol_in_air_over_size Did I get it wrong ? Or has anybody ever used another name for the same quantity ? Best Regards, Bruno.
