Dave, Do you think we should also introduce other water_volume_transport quantities together to make this clear? water_volume_transport_in_river_channel water_volume_transport_over_land water_volume_transport_in_??? -Rich On Tue, May 3, 2016 at 10:14 AM, David Blodgett wrote: > I actually sugge

I actually suggested ‘in river channel’ to rich because of the potential to segregate into flow in fluvial sediments below the channel or in a floodplain disconnected from the channel, etc. Cheers! - Dave > On May 3, 2016, at 9:09 AM, Jonathan Gregory > wrote: > > Dear Rich > >> How about

Rich, Thanks for bringing this up. I checked with some of our hydrology folks who use both WaterML and CF for gage station time series, and they think this sounds fine. dka — David K Arctur, PhD Research Scientist & Fellow, University of Texas at Austin Research/Academic Advocate, Open Geospa

CF folks, There are a bunch of hydrology standard_names, but none that seem appropriate for one of the most common quantities, plain old "river discharge". We currently have "water_volume_transport_into_sea_water_from_rivers" with the right units "m3/s", but in the CF Standard Name list, but this
