We need a name for the ratio of water vapor mass to total dry air mass.
We suggest that all of the index_of_xxx_in_tracer_concentration_array
standard names be changed to index_of_xxx_in_tracer_array
and that the array where these items are stored be called tracer_array
.

@grantfirl @ligiabernardet FYI
We need a name for the ratio of water vapor mass to total dry air mass.
Would humidity_mixing_ratio
work?
Alternately, following mole_fraction_of_carbon_dioxide_in_dry_air
, would mass_fraction_of_water_vapor_in_dry_air
?
Unless I am misunderstanding, it should be the existing water_vapor_mixing_ratio because mixing_ratio implies relative to dry air. I am somewhat suspicious of the long name in thompson.

https://github.com/ESCOMP/CCPPStandardNames/blob/main/Metadata-standard-names.md#atmospheric_composition
shows water_vapor_mixing_ratio_wrt_dry_air
, which would probably be more relevant here than humidity_mixing_ratio
in https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/current/build/cf-standard-name-table.html, which I missed earlier.
I would like to propose a few new standard names which I think should be added to the dictionary
relative_humidity
tracer_concentration_array
