[CF-metadata] New names for CF

Dear all,
        I would like to suggest some new names for CF. They are related to
radiative forcing and are:

tropopause_radiative_forcing
tropopause_instantaneous_radiative_forcing
tropopause_SW_radiative_forcing
tropopause_LW_radiative_forcing

which are the adjusted radiative forcing at the tropopause, the
instanteous radiaitive forcing and the SW and LW components of the
adjusted forcing.
Radiative forcing is a very useful concept in climate modelling -- see
the TAR and earlier assesments. HadCM3 (with some tweaking) can diagnose
these so it would be useful if they could be in the standard names
table.

many thanks for your consideration.

Simon
