Dear Tony
Bryan Lawrence has pointed out that these quantities should not have different
standard names if they are really the same quantity diagnosed by different
methods. I think they are truly different quantities and so do need different
standard names. Therefore instead of
> ocean_mixed_layer_thickness_diagnosed_from_mixing_scheme
> ocean_mixed_layer_thickness_diagnosed_from_temperature
> ocean_mixed_layer_thickness_diagnosed_from_sigma_t
> ocean_mixed_layer_thickness_diagnosed_from_sigma_theta
perhaps another phrase e.g. according_to or defined_by would be a better choice
than diagnosed_from. What do you think?
Cheers
Jonathan
