NTR for environmental measurement units

[cbarcl01]

Hi UO team!

I'm working with GENEPIO and DataHarmonizer to create some new templates for wastewater surveillance and have a few terms that I think would be best suited to the unit ontology. I'll provide the required information in this thread but I've also got a ROBOT table with the requested fields if that is useful. Let me know if you don't think these terms should go here.

Preferred term label	Synonyms	Textual definition	Suggested parent term	Attribution
nephelometric turbidity unit	NTU	A turbidity unit which is a standard measure of cloudiness of a substance calculated by using a nephelometer.	turbidity unit	https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8008-8249
bar unit	bar	A pressure unit which is equivalent to 100 kilopascals (kPa).	pressure unit	https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8008-8249
salinity unit		A concentration unit which represents a standard measurement of quantity of salt content in a water body.	concentration unit	https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8008-8249
practical salinity unit	PSU	A salinity unit which is commonly used to express salinity in oceanography and is based on the conductivity ratio of a seawater sample to a standard potassium chloride solution.	salinity unit	https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8008-8249

I know there has been discussion in previous issues as to whether PSU should be used or not, so I will follow your advice.

Thanks UO team.

Hi all, just wondering if these are appropriate for UO or if I should request elsewhere?
