As of April 7, 2006, the CF table contained 755 standard names, roughly categorized fields:
 
 
 
*Radiation 129
 
*Hydrology 128
 
*Surface 114
 
*Atmosphere Dynamics 95
 
*Cloud 41
 
*Sea Ice 30
 
*Ocean Dynamics 17
 
*Carbon Cycle 16
 
*Other 185
 
'''*Total 755'''
 
 
 
Among the 'Other' registered standard names one finds a some names for radiative forcing (in W m-2). These will be extended to include aerosols.
 
 
 
'''toa_adjusted_longwave_forcing''' <br>
 
"longwave" means longwave radiation. "toa" means top of atmosphere. Adjusted forcing is the radiative flux change caused by an imposed change in radiative forcing agent (greenhouse gases, aerosol, solar radiation, etc.) after allowance for stratospheric temperature adjustment.
 
 
 
'''toa_adjusted_radiative_forcing''' <br>
 
"toa" means top of atmosphere. Adjusted forcing is the radiative flux change caused by an imposed change in radiative forcing agent (greenhouse gases, aerosol, solar radiation, etc.) after allowance for stratospheric temperature adjustment.
 
 
 
'''toa_adjusted_shortwave_forcing''' <br>
 
"shortwave" means shortwave radiation. "toa" means top of atmosphere. Adjusted forcing is the radiative flux change caused by an imposed change in radiative forcing agent (greenhouse gases, aerosol, solar radiation, etc.) after allowance for stratospheric temperature adjustment.
 
'''
 
toa_instantaneous_longwave_forcing''' <br>
 
"longwave" means longwave radiation. "toa" means top of atmosphere. Instantaneous forcing is the radiative flux change caused instantaneously by an imposed change in radiative forcing agent (greenhouse gases, aerosol, solar radiation, etc.).
 
 
 
'''toa_instantaneous_radiative_forcing''' <br>
 
"toa" means top of atmosphere. Instantaneous forcing is the radiative flux change caused instantaneously by an imposed change in radiative forcing agent (greenhouse gases, aerosol, solar radiation, etc.).

The CF conventions web site contains a List of accepted CF Standard Names, choose Radiation as a Category.

This table gives a list of variables that have been accepted by the CF community CF mailing list.

New names can be submitted to this list and are discussed by the CF community on this mailing list.
