1.8 CF Standard Names: Mole Concentration of Biological Taxon Expressed As Nitrogen in Sea Water (mole_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water)

Record Label : mole_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water

Record Title : Mole Concentration of Biological Taxon Expressed As Nitrogen in Sea Water

CF Standard Name : mole_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water

Record Description : "Mole concentration" means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species or biological group denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The phrase "expressed_as" is used in the construction "A_expressed_as_B", where B is a chemical constituent of A. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A. "Biological taxon" is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy. There must be an auxiliary coordinate variable with standard name biological_taxon_name to identify the taxon in human readable format and optionally an auxiliary coordinate variable with standard name biological_taxon_identifier to provide a machine-readable identifier. See Section 6.1.2 of the CF convention (version 1.8 or later) for information about biological taxon auxiliary coordinate variables.
