Dear Karl,
Thanks for the updated list. I'll add these to the region list on the same day as the next standard name table update (hopefully by the end of January).
Best wishes,
Alison

Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] Request for a region standard_name
Dear Jonathan and Alison,
We also have defined the following "regions" (ocean basins in this case) for CMIP5:
global_land
southern_ocean
atlantic_ocean
pacific_ocean
arctic_ocean
indian_ocean
mediterranean_sea
black_sea
hudson_bay
baltic_sea
red_sea
Also your list of straits et al., is missing a few and in some cases differs slightly from what we're actually using in CMIP5. Here are the ones that differ:
canadian_archipelago
pacific_equatorial_undercurrent
florida_bahamas_strait
taiwan_luzon_straits
Here's the complete list then:
barents_opening
bering_strait
canadian_archipelago
denmark_strait
drake_passage
english_channel
pacific_equatorial_undercurrent
faroe_scotland_channel
florida_bahamas_strait
fram_strait
iceland_faroe_channel
indonesian_throughflow
mozambique_channel
taiwan_luzon_straits
windward_passage
The following regions are also referred to by CMIP5. Not sure they should be added or not to CF. maybe they're there already:
atlantic_arctic_ocean
indian_pacific_ocean
global_ocean
these are used as "coordinate values" for the meridional overturning stream function.
best regards,
Karl

Dear Alison
The CMIP5 regions I was thinking of were the names of various sea channels and straits.
I agree that it makes sense to add the CMIP5 channels and straits to the CF
region list. Thanks.
Best wishes
Jonathan
