Dear Trevor Thanks for your explanation. I find "preformed nitrate" an equally opaque term! However, if "preformed" is the universally used term and there isn't any more self-explanatory alternative available, I'd agree it's the best choice for the standard name.
Best wishes Jonathan _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list CF-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
