Dear CF-Meta Mailinglist,
As mentioned in the previous e-mail I would like to propose further
nitrogen-related standard names and two corrections. The full
definitions are attached in the end of this e-mail and as csv file.
In the last CF standard name update the two names
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_due_to_dry_deposition
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrogen_due_to_wet_deposition
were added.
I realized that I made a typo in the descriptions. "nitrage" needs to be
changed to "nitrate" in the description of both standard names.
Based on these two names, I propose the following new standard names:
( 1)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_oxidized_nitrogen_due_to_deposition
( 2)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_reduced_nitrogen_due_to_deposition
( 3)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_oxidized_nitrogen_due_to_dry_deposition
( 4)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_reduced_nitrogen_due_to_dry_deposition
( 5)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_oxidized_nitrogen_due_to_wet_deposition
( 6)
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_reduced_nitrogen_due_to_wet_deposition
( 7)
tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_reduced_nitrogen_due_to_deposition
( 8)
tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_oxidized_nitrogen_due_to_deposition
( 9)
tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_reduced_nitrogen_due_to_dry_deposition
(10)
tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_oxidized_nitrogen_due_to_dry_deposition
(11)
tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_reduced_nitrogen_due_to_wet_deposition
(12)
tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_oxidized_nitrogen_due_to_wet_deposition
There exists already a variable called
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_noy_expressed_as_nitrogen_due_to_dry_deposition
which is similar to the proposed "oxidized_nitrogen" standard names.
However, "noy" commonly denotes gaseous species whereas
"oxidized_nitrogen" denotes gaseous and particulate species.
Reason for (1) to (6): For marine ecosystem modelling, reduced and
oxizied nitrogen compounds need to be distinguished. Atmospheric
deposition is one source for marine nitrogen compounds.
Reason for (7) to (12): Consistency. New names (1) to (6) are for the
output files of chemistry transport models, whereas (7) to (12) are for
input files of marine biogeochemical models.
Cheers,
Daniel
