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
