HI again, I'd prefer it to be somewhere in the Standard Name entry because that is searchable either through the XML document on the CF site or through the vocabulary servers handling Standard Names. That way your data gets discovered by other communities who might search for '1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane'. I've dealt with quite a few oceanographic halocarbon data sets over the years, but had never come across the 'hfc' nomenclature before.
To my knowledge the long name doesn't get scraped by data discovery systems. It is used more as usage metadata to help users better understand the measurements. By all means include the IUPAC name in the long name, but I would also keep the hfc synonym there. Cheers, Roy. I have now retired but will continue to be active through an Emeritus Fellowship using this e-mail address. ________________________________ From: Dan Say <dan....@bristol.ac.uk> Sent: 12 March 2019 16:59 To: Lowry, Roy K.; cf-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu Subject: Re: Addition of HFC standard names Hi Roy, Would it make more sense to leave the standard name as suggested, but replace 'hfc134a' with '1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane' in the long name, for simplicity? This is my first venture into the CEDa archives so please advise, I am happy to change the long names if needs be.

I'd be happy with it in the definition but would not object to it being in the Standard Name itself. Cheers, Roy.

Here are the details of the proposed standard names. Proposal for a new standard variable names: Names: mole_fraction_of_hfc134a_in_air mole_fraction_of_hfc143a_in_air mole_fraction_of_hfc125_in_air mole_fraction_of_hfc152a_in_air mole_fraction_of_hfc32_in_air mole_fraction_of_hfc23_in_air Description: Atmospheric measurements of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) are reported as mole fraction data in units of parts per trillion (ppt, 1E-12). The long name will remain the same as the standard name.
