4 months ago Hello Eleanor. I'm adding label vocab to this issue as this sounds like we need a new OG1 parameter code. Please see current collection on https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/OG1/current/
Once a description has been agreed upon, a new request will need to go in at https://github.com/nvs-vocabs/OG1/issues to add this to the collection
FYI OG vocab team - @vturpin @fmargirier @ptestor @clayton33 @ShaoqiongYang @robynowen
@eleanorfrajka Will you be able to help us with the description please

Is this related to a specific platform models All platforms (as far as I'm aware), or at least Seaglider, Slocum, Seaexplorer, Spray.
Describe the solution you'd like A variable to use for vertical seawater velocity derived from using a glider flight model (rather than e.g., an ADCP).
Additional context This is in the context of an effort to progress with multi-platform, multi-region investigations into vertical seawater velocity Vertical Velocity. In order to use OG format, we will need a variable for vertical seawater velocity which does not appear to be available.
I think the guidance was to check some places to make sure the choice of variable name doesn't clash, but I'm not sure where these were.
