Re: [CF-metadata] Request for new standard-name: apparent_oxygen_utilization

Thanks, Alison - Your definition looks good to me. Good to include the reference, too. Maybe Ajay can tell us whether this needs to be limited to sea water, or if the concept is also used in fresh water work? - Nan On 2/26/15 1:11 PM, alison.pamm...@stfc.ac.uk wrote: Dear Ajay, Roy, All, Th

Re: [CF-metadata] Request for new standard-name: apparent_oxygen_utilization

Dear Ajay, Roy, All, Thank you for the clarification regarding units. We are now settled on apparent_oxygen_utilization (mol kg-1). We do already have a couple of ocean biogeochemistry names referring to "nitrate utilization" so I think this new name is in keeping with those. Based on the defi

Re: [CF-metadata] Request for new standard-name: apparent_oxygen_utilization

Dear All, Thank you for the constructive discussion of this proposal - it seems that agreement has been reached on apparent_oxygen_utilisation with canonical units of mol kg-1. (Just to double check: is this the correct unit for use with the World Ocean Database, which I believe is the reason f
