Dear All,
my request for standard names(see below) is still pending (since 16
September).
I know it is a long list and I do not want to press anyone in the CF
group to reply very quickly.
The issue is that people at the German Climate Research Centre are
going to launch the 150 year RCM simulations at the beginning of
November.
If you can make it to give me a decision until end of October, that
would help very much. I could then avoid the adjustment in the post
processing which means shuffling tons of gigabytes around.
Best Regards
Burkhardt
