Comment (by martin.juckes):
I support this proposal. The GRIB codes refer to GRIB 1, which is being
replaced by GRIB2, a new standard with different codes. While there is a
clearly a need within the community for such mappings, keeping them in the
standard name table is a distraction from the core work of the standard.
Keeping the mappings up to date is, as Jonathan notes, very important --
and having them embedded in the CF Standard Name table makes this harder.
For the AMIP/CMIP names it is clear that the mappings are determined in
the CMOR tables, and should be updated every time a new set of tables is
produced -- so it makes more sense to direct users to these tables for the
mappings.
regards,
Martin
