Re: [CF-metadata] Proposal for new standard names - use of"sedimentation"

Hi Philip, I agree with your proposals. I think it's a good idea to adopt an existing phrase for std_names that fits our needs - thanks for letting me know this. Best wishes, Tomoo - Original Message - From: "Cameron-smith, Philip" To: "Tomoo Ogura" ;

Hi Philip, Thanks for drafting the definitions of precipitation and sedimentation. It appears to me that the definitions are appropriate for aerosols, too, (but not being an expert, maybe I'm not the right person to comment here ...) Best wishes, Tomoo ___

Hi Philip, This seems a reasonable distinction. I assume that your proposal is that the existing std_names with 'precipitation' should now be defined to exclude sedimentation of clouds and aerosols. I suspect that this is probably how people have already used them, so I would not object.

Dear Jonathan and Philip Cc: Jen, Many thanks for your comments. My understanding of the issue is as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong). The tendencies of cloud liquid (condensed) water represented by the proposed standard names refer to the slow falling process of cloud liquid water. Th
