The IUPAC name for glyoxal is ethanedial.
sea_water_turbidity
Unit: 1
Unit ref: UUUU
Turbidity is a dimensionless quantity which is expressed in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units). Turbidity expressed in NTU is the proportion of white light scattered back to a transceiver by the particulate load in a body of water, represented on an arbitrary scale referenced against measurements made in the laboratory on aqueous suspensions of formazine beads. Sea water turbidity may also be measured by the quantity with standard name secchi_depth_of_sea_water.
sea_water_pressure
Unit: dbar
Unit ref: UPDB
"Sea water pressure" is the pressure that exists in the medium of sea water. It includes the pressure due to overlying sea water, sea ice, air and any other medium that may be present. For sea water pressure excluding the pressure due to overlying media other than sea water, the standard name sea_water_pressure_due_to_sea_water should be used.
secchi_depth_of_sea_water
Unit: m
Unit ref: ULAA
Depth is the vertical distance below the surface. A Secchi disk is a patterned disk that is used to measure water transparency, also called turbidity, in oceans and lakes. The disk is lowered into the water and the depth at which the pattern is no longer visible is the called the secchi depth. Sea water turbidity may also be measured by the quantity with standard name sea_water_turbidity.
troposphere_mole_content_of_formaldehyde
Unit: mol m-2
Unit ref: MLM2
"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "troposphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the tropopause. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. The chemical formula for formaldehyde is CH2O. The IUPAC name for formaldehyde is methanal.
troposphere_mole_content_of_ozone
Unit: mol m-2
Unit ref: MLM2
"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "troposphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the tropopause. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. The chemical formula for ozone is O3. The IUPAC name for ozone is trioxygen.
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor_due_to_advection
Unit: kg m-2 s-1
Unit ref: KSP2
The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. Atmosphere water vapor content is sometimes referred to as "precipitable water", although this term does not imply the water could all be precipitated.
