1.8 CF Standard Names: Mole Concentration of Diatoms Expressed As Nitrogen in Sea Water (mole_concentration_of_diatoms_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water)

Record Label : mole_concentration_of_diatoms_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water

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

CF Standard Name : mole_concentration_of_diatoms_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 or biological species 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 in terms of B alone, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A. Diatoms are phytoplankton with an external skeleton made of silica. Phytoplankton are algae that grow where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis.
