Dear Jonathan,
The CMIP6 Data Request uses the terms which are in the CF Standard Name list ... with "eddy_advection".
The CF Standard Name editor link for one of the terms is here: <
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Enafy971fSF3mNJb5MObm3buH2yAmamMkRcj5h9WmJM/edit#slide=id.p>
http://cfeditor.ceda.ac.uk/proposal/1795.<
http://cfeditor.ceda.ac.uk/proposal/1795>
The email thread is here (the link from the editor is broken):
http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2017/019691.html .<
http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2017/019691.html>
I'm not sure if I've followed all the details ... but it looks as though Alison proposed adding "eddy" and her proposal was accepted.
regards,
Martin

Dear Martin
The names did get approved on the email list in the usual way. However, some-
thing must have gone wrong somewhere. Either the names we asked to be approved
were wrong (not the same as the ones in the papers, which is what we intended),
or the names in the standard_name table aren't the ones that were approved -
which seems unlikely. I'm quite prepared to find that it was my mistake some-
where! Anyway, I think it could be put right with aliases. What do we have in
the CMIP6 data request?
Best wishes
Jonathan

There are many cases where people have put terms in their GMD papers and claimed that they are "CF standard names" without taking the trouble to put them through the discussion and approval process of the CF Convention. This is a clear procedural error which happened in several MIPs ... we obviously need to improve communication on the procedures.
