Record Label : isotope_ratio_of_17O_to_16O_in_sea_water_excluding_solutes_and_solids
Record Title : Isotope Ratio of 17O to 16O in Sea Water Excluding Solutes And Solids
CF Standard Name : isotope_ratio_of_17O_to_16O_in_sea_water_excluding_solutes_and_solids
Record Description : The phrase "ratio_of_X_to_Y" means X/Y. The phrase "isotope_ratio" is used in the construction isotope_ratio_of_A_to_B where A and B are both named isotopes. It means the ratio of the number of atoms of A to the number of atoms of B present within a medium. "O" means the element "oxygen" and "17O" is the stable isotope "oxygen-17". "16O" is the stable isotope "oxygen-16". The phrase "in_sea_water_excluding_solutes_and_solids" means that the standard name refers only to the chemical compound water and does not include material that may be dissolved or suspended in the aqueous medium.
