Dear Karl, Thanks for the updated list. I'll add these to the region list on the same day as the next standard name table update (hopefully by the end of January).

Here are the ones that differ: canadian_archipelago pacific_equatorial_undercurrent florida_bahamas_strait taiwan_luzon_straits Here's the complete list then: barents_opening bering_strait canadian_archipelago denmark_strait drake_passage english_channel pacific_equatorial_undercurrent faroe_scotland_channel florida_bahamas_strait fram_strait iceland_faroe_channel indonesian_throughflow mozambique_channel taiwan_luzon_straits windward_passage The following regions are also referred to by CMIP5. Not sure they should be added or not to CF. maybe they're there already: atlantic_arctic_ocean indian_pacific_ocean global_ocean these are used as "coordinate values" for the meridional overturning stream function. best regards, Karl On 1/12/12 9:03 AM, Jonathan Gregory wrote: Dear Alison The CMIP5 regions I was thinking of were the names of various sea channels and straits. I agree that it makes sense to add the CMIP5 channels and straits to the CF region list. Thanks.
