2010-10-26 Thread Bruno PIGUET
Dear all, I feel a little bit stupid, but I haven't found a standard name for a local ("in-situ") measurement of liquid water content (expressed in g/m^3). I've found so far : - atmosphere_cloud_liquid_water_content : But my measurements are local, not vertically integrated. - cloud_liqu

Meghan et. al: I think we would be missing a great opportunity if we used only the wave variables proposed below. We have good dynamical reasons to think that waves are important in upper ocean dynamics and not just for purposes of directing shipping or filling up mandated data bases. I
