Dear Ute
Ah, I see the problem. OK. Yes, I would understand surface_Xward_sea_water_
velocity to mean the velocity of the water, not the ice.
Best wishes

Hi John,
Totally agree with you about the confidence level and what people SHOULD be
doing.
However, I am uncomfortable with CF becoming a tool to force those who have
quoted at standard conditions and used the existing Standard Name rework their
data. However, should a formal approach from
Hi Matthias,
I'm going to have to go with in-situ, unless someone can correct me
otherwise. I'm 86.33% confident, however. I have been looking at Jim
Orr's documentation (

it cites:

Dear Alison,
Thank you very much for taking your time to send the detailed reply to
my proposal. I agree with most of the suggested improvements.
I agree with you that 'sea_salt' is more appropriate than 'seasalt'.
Feel free to change all proposed sea salt standard names to 'sea_salt'.

Dear Matthias,
My concern with your suggestion is that in effect you are asking for the the
Standard Name + definition to be semantically narrowed. Should somebody have
used the Standard Name without this clarification for corrected data then the
proposed change would introduce a semantic erro
Matthias,
Having talked to a number of scientists and data processing folks when trying
to advance these proposals, it was clear that all different scenarios were
possible. We tried to write the descriptions to describe the meaning of the

Dear Roy,
thank you for your helpful comment on the in-situ conditions.
For the question about adding this information in some way, perhaps I had
worded this ambiguously. I was more asking about updating the description
(and not in fact the standard name).
Best regards,
Matthias

Dear All,
This is a somewhat belated announcement of the most recent standard name table
update. The current version is now V44, dated 23 May 2017. The changes have
also been published in the NERC Vocabulary Server. They are listed in full at
the end of this message.
The next update to standar
Dear Daniel,
Thanks for (re)proposing your names.
First a couple of general points that are relevant to many of your sea salt
names.
In your original posting in March
(http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2017/059293.html) you
pointed out that there are two existing names,

Dear Sebastien,
Thank you for once again bringing this back to the list. I agree that the
discussion seems to have settled on the "steric" names rather than the longer
versions. We need to have definitions, so I've modified the text I suggested
previously.
We now have:
steric_change_in_sea_sur
Dear all,
since nobody is raising any more issues or showing strong feelings in the
choice of final standard names, I propose to adopt
steric_change_in_sea_surface_height
halosteric_change_in_sea_surface_height
thermosteric_change_in_sea_surface_height
We will start producing variables with th
Dear Matthias,
All I can say that is that in-situ conditions were my assumption when involved
in the initial discussions on this issue. However, I would not rely on the
Standard Name to convey such detailed usage metadata information. Its function
is to describe what was measured rather than t
Hello all,
we had a question come up for the "sea_water_ph_reported_on_total_scale"
standard name: it appears that for some communities, in particular on the
measurement side, pH would regularly be reported only after first having
converted to its equivalent at standard conditions (25C, 0dbar). In
