Dear Alison,

Any news on the wave period and wave direction proposals ?

Dear Elodie,
Thank you for reminding me about the two geostrophic names. I agree that these
two are pretty straight forward. At Nan's suggestion, I've expanded slightly on
our standard definition text of "geostrophic", bearing in mind that it applies
equally to ocean and atmosphere circulation.
The definitions below for the term 'geostrophic' may need to be beefed up,
since they're self-referencing..
I had to resort to google: 'A geostrophic current is an oceanic flow in
which
the pressure gradient force is balanced by the Coriolis effect. The
direction
of geostrophic flow is parallel

Those look fine to me. Thanks.

Dear all,
I would like to suggest the addition of two new standard_names to
describe geostrophic sea water velocities. Standard_names exist for the
surface velocities (|surface_geostrophic_eastward_sea_water_velocity
and
surface_geostrophic_northward_sea_water_velocity ),
but not for the 3D ones.
