Dear All, The standard name table has been updated as previously notified. The current version of the table is now version 26, dated 8 November 2013. The changes have also been published on the NERC vocabulary server.
Jonathan Wrotny and Seth McGinnis have been added to the list of standard name table contributors (http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/cf-standard-name-contributors). The other contributors to this update were already listed.
