thanks @SamanthaPullen ,,,, I'm not part of this repository but @svahl991 wanted to make sure the JCSDA OBS team was also aware.
should tag @ClaraDraper-NOAA as well but may need to send her this link in an email
These additions have been discussed with @ClaraDraper-NOAA and she has confirmed that she is happy with them.

My apologies, I responded only to the email. These names are fine by me. Thanks for getting this ready @SamanthaPullen
There is some associated discussion on the naming conventions and precise definitions of variables for area fractions in #57. This could have implications for the variable names land_ice_area_fraction
and urban_area_fraction
in this PR
I have switched this PR to draft given the related discussion in #57. Will update names for land_ice_area_fraction
and urban_area_fraction
by appending _of_cell_area
after the Easter Holiday and re-open for review
@mkavulich @ss421 @svahl991 Following discussion at #57 and for consistency with the naming convention for sea ice fraction variables proposed there, I have modified the following land surface variable names:
land_ice_area_fraction
urban_area_fraction
modified to:
land_ice_area_fraction_of_cell_area
urban_area_fraction_of_cell_area
Now ready for review again - @nusbaume are you happy with this update?
@SamanthaPullen Thanks for double-checking with me! Yes those changes look fine on my end, so my approval still holds.
@nusbaume , @mkavulich, could this PR be merged please? It has had 2 approvals, but strangely only 1 of them is showing in the panel below
@SamanthaPullen I'll ping folks directly to make sure this PR gets reviewed promptly. Sorry for the delay.
@mkavulich thank you:)
Late to the party, but looks fine to me.
This PR addresses Issue #59
This PR adds some variable names to the CCPP Standard Names for land surface variables, in preparation for Met Office work on land surface DA with JEDI. I think it makes sense to add a new sub-section for these surface variables. I have added a subsection
land_surface
, but it could be a wider scope sub-section covering all surface (i.e. land, sea, sea-ice). Please advise :)I have added the following land surface variable names, in alphabetical order (which would be nice to see elsewhere in the CCPP Standard Names list, for ease of reference):
land_ice_area_fraction
mass_content_of_water_in_top_soil_layer
surface_snow_density
urban_area_fraction
volume_fraction_of_liquid_water_in_soil_at_critical_point
volume_fraction_of_liquid_water_in_soil_at_saturation
volume_fraction_of_liquid_water_in_soil_at_wilting_point
I have used CF Standard Names (cfconventions.org) where possible, and where nothing suitable exists I have based the proposed CCPP name on the CCPP or CF name of a related or similar variable.
Opened as a draft PR for now to allow coordination between Met Office and JCSDA before submitting for review. Comments welcome in the meantime!
