Dear all, I propose that the standard name "area" be added. It is needed for the next round of CMIP (CMIP5), where we will collect the grid cell areas for each model grid.
Furthermore, unless "area" is accepted as a standard name, we will have to make a correction to the CF documentation. Currently Example 7.3 includes a line that reads: 'cell_area:standard_name="area";' cheers, Karl _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
