Standard Name Table Release - v86, Sep 2024

[efisher008]

Dear All,

The standard name table has been updated. The current version is now version 86, dated 5 September 2024. The changes have been published on the NERC vocabulary server and a KWIC index for version 86 will be created in due course, so we ask for your patience in this. All changes are listed below.

Best wishes,
Ellie Fisher

@efisher008 and @japamment in the v86 the KWIC index it is missng.

Please, can you provide the instructions on how to build the KWIC index?

Moreover, can you describe the process how releases of standard name table versions are published and where?

Thank you
P.S: Probably there is a better "place" (discuss/issue) to discuss this.
