[CF-metadata] Standard name table version dates?

Hi Nan,

The following are the past version dates I have for the version changes since I started following CF Standard Names closely, which was in September 2006 when version 2 was current:

VERSION TO_CHAR(VRS_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD')

3 "2007-02-20"
4 "2007-03-13"
5 "2007-05-15"
6 "2007-07-17"
7 "2007-11-21"
8 "2008-04-15"
10 "2008-10-21"
11 "2008-11-11"
12 "2009-07-07"

For versions between 2 and 13 I also have change audit trails stored and a tool that I can use to produce difference reports between any two specified versions.

Cheers, Roy.

Hi all -

There is an appendix in the conventions document that describes
changes to the standard, and gives the dates of those changes, at
cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.4/cf-conventions.html

Is there likewise a document somewhere that either gives the dates of
the different versions of the standard name table, or describes what's
been added to each of the revisions?

This was asked by a group that's looking at terms they've adopted
for variables that were not in the table back in 2004, which might
now be represented in the CF names. I have no idea what version
would have been current back then, and it does seem like a useful
bit of metadata to have on the site.

Thanks -
Nan
