Hi Jim... I investigated a bit, and there is a precedent for "regions" in the standard names...but when "they" put it together, it was based on the GCMD keyword list and they purposefully excluded country names (with the caveat that they could be added later, if needed). <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/standardized-region-names> It looks like "all" that needs to get done to request this is to post a message to the "cf-metadata" mailing list...but perhaps someone else here knows more. tom On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 1:30 PM, Jim Biard <Jim.Biard@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi. > > I have a need for a region standard_name of "conus".
