Master List of CSDMS Standard Names
===================================
Adding new names
----------------
If you would like to add new names to the official CSDMS Standard Names
Registry, please do so by either submitting it as an issue to the
[GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/csdms/standard_names_registry/issues) or as a pull request that adds your new names to `names.txt`.
Some basic rules
----------------
The [CSDMS wiki](http://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/CSN_Basic_Rules) provides
a full description of the basic rules. Below are the basics.
* Names are of the form: `__`.
* Names shall contain only lowercase letters and numbers along with the
Standard Names separator characters (`_`, `-`, `~`, `__`).
* The Standard Names separators:
* `_`: delimite separate words of a name.
* `-`: join multi-word objects, quantities, adjectives, etc.
* `~`: join an adjective to a noun (the noun comes first following by
or more adjectives).
* `__`: separate an object from a quantity.
* `_of_`: apply a math operation to the subsequent quantity.
* Qualifiers that make an object or quantity more specific are added to
the *left* of the base object or quantity (with increasing specitivity).
For those so inclined, here is the current regular expression for a
CSDMS Standard Names,
^[a-z]([a-zA-Z0-9~-]|_(?!_))*(__)[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9~-]|_(?!_))*[a-z0-9]$
With the *standard_names* package, this is the `re` attribute of the
`StandardName` class (`StandardName.re`).

Scrape names from the CSDMS Wiki

There are many examples of CSDMS Standard Names on several pages of the
[CSDMS wiki](http://csdms.colorado.edu). These names can be scraped with
the `snscrape` command provided by the
[standard_names package](https:github.com/csdms/standard_names).
$ snscrape --no-headers \
