Hi Ros and Alison, The standardised region names are held in the NERC Vocabulary server. An RDF-XML version may be obtained using:
http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P30/current/accepted You can also use this to check the validity of a particular area name, For example to verify 'antarctica' simply enter the URL: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P30/current/antarctica/ If the term in the last field is invalid then you will get an HTTP 400 error. If this serves your purposes then you can save yourself a job. Cheers, Roy.

I will put one together and get it added to the website. Thank you also for volunteering to maintain it. Best Regards, Ros.

If you do create a version and add it to the CF website I'd be happy to maintain it along with the XML and HTML versions of the standard_name and area_types tables.

I'm in the process of getting the CF Checker to validate against the list of region names and it would be easiest if it's in xml format like the area_types and standard_name tables. Am happy to create one if one doesn't exist. Regards, Ros. -- Rosalyn Hatcher NCAS Computational Modelling Services Dept. of Meteorology, University of Reading, Earley Gate, Reading.
