Dear all I would like to propose the following new standard names, to support models which simulate ice-sheet mass balance. They are based on existing patterns:
surface_snow_and_ice_melt_flux (kg m-2 s-1): the mass flux of melting at the surface surface_snow_and_ice_refreezing_flux (kg m-2 s-1): the mass flux of surface meltwater which refreezes within the snow or firn land_ice_surface_specific_mass_balance_flux (kg m-2 s-1): the net rate of gain (if positive) or loss (if negative) of frozen water mass per unit area due to all processes of surface accumulation and ablation I would also like to propose a new area_type of ice_free_land.
