Dear Pierre et al, Since we have made a few more tweaks to the carbon cycle names over the last few days I thought it would be useful to send a full list of the finalised names: tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbo n_due_to_anthropogenic_emission; kg m-2 s-1 te

Dear Alison > object to using miscellaneous_living_matter_carbon_content? No, that's OK. I think it is still just about comprehensible. :-) I suggested a different syntax of Y_of_X because I thought the X in X_Y was getting rather long in that case, that's all. Best wishes Jonathan _
