CSDMS Standard Names — Standard Name Examples (Version 0.8.3)
(last updated: 2015-10-07; 2653 names)
Following is a list of standard variable names, many of which are currently being used by CSDMS models. Many others were developed to test and further develop the name-construction rules. Following this list are separate lists of the object, operation and quantity names that were used to construct these names.
