Description
This PR follows discussion in issue #36 about the ambiguous definition of specific humidity. Specific humidity is usually defined as the mixing ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of moist air, but moist air includes hydrometeors or not depending on who you are talking to.
This PR modifies rule 5 on mixing ratios:
_wrt_moist_air
and_wrt_total_mass
are replaced bywrt_moist_air
and_wrt_moist_air_and_condensed_water
, which make it clearer thatmoist_air
does not include condensed water in this standard.specific_humidity
is no longer proposed as an alias forwater_vapor_mixing_ratio_wrt_moist_air
, not to favor this definition overwater_vapor_mixing_ratio_wrt_moist_air_and_condensed_water
.This PR also modifies the standard names
specific_humidity
andspecific_humidity_at_2m
into their explicit versionswater_vapor_mixing_ratio_wrt_moist_air
[_and_condensed_water
] [_at_2m
].Issue addressed
Notes
I haven't replaced the 22 other names that are built on variants
specific_humidity
. If required, I can replace them by the current CCPP definition which iswater_vapor_mixing_ratio_wrt_moist_air
.
