Dear Jonathan, thank you for your answer. I hope this is our break through.

At this point we would have these new standard names for the cf list: number_of_days_with_air_temperature_below_threshold **************************************************** examples: frost_days min<0 degC = fd (IPCC AR4 and AR5) ice days max<0 degC frost days where no snow number_of_days_with_air_temperature_above_threshold **************************************************** examples: summer days max>25 degC tropical nights min>20 degC number_of_days_with_lwe_thickness_of_precipitation_amount_above_threshold ************************************************************************* examples: heavy precipitation >10 mm = r10 (IPCC AR4 and AR5) very heavy precipitation >20 mm wet days > 1mm number_of_days_with_wind_speed_above_threshold **************************************************** examples: strong breeze days max > 10,5 m/s strong gale days max > 20,5 m/s hurricane days max > 32,5 m/s This was the first step. As soon as possible I try to make the next proposal for the other statistic parameters.
