Hi Jonathan,
In quickly looking over your updated grammar page, I noticed that the _due_to_(phenomenon) section contained the following:
from icebergs
from rivers
from rivers and surface downward water flux
Would it make sense to move these to the (preposition)(medium) section?
Best wishes,
Philip

Subject: [CF-metadata] standard name grammar for version 14 of the table
Dear all
Encouraged by comments on my standard name grammar, I have updated it for
version 14 of the standard name table, published yesterday. Doing the update
was an interesting exercise. Initially most of the new names could not be
parsed, but it was fairly straightforward to add new phrases to the lexicon
until the parsing succeeded. The new version is at
http://*www.*met.reading.ac.uk/~jonathan/CF_metadata/14.1/
You can imagine that proposals for standard names could be guided by such a
grammar, in which proposers would indicate how the lexicon and syntax should
be extended if required, as part of their proposal. If no such extensions are
needed, an automatic tool could help proposers construct standard names from
existing grammar, and you'd expect they would be acceptable once they'd passed
through a manual anti-green-dog filter.
In another email, I will comment on some specific issues with version 14.
Cheers
Jonathan
