amocvocab — variable vocabulary
===============================

Version **0.1**, checked against CF standard-name table **v94 (2026-06-09)**. This table is generated from ``amocatlas/vocabulary/amocvocab.yml``.

Each quantity carries a CF ``standard_name`` only when an exact CF name exists whose canonical units are convertible to the reported units; otherwise the standard name is null and the nearest CF concept, if any, is noted. See the :doc:`format` conformance statement for how these are written into files.

Decompositions
--------------

All decompositions are **provisional** in this release: the component partition is verified where a closure check is recorded, but the scheme reference is not yet pinned.
