Dear CF board,

We have an algorithm for aerosol optical depth which yields statistics over oceans, strictly. The area_type_table does include 'sea' in its list. Is this meant to be strictly synonymous with 'ocean,' or is it more inclusive, e.g., large lakes. If 'sea' is indeed meant to be a rather inclusive term, we would like to propose the addition of 'ocean' to the table to give a more
precise context to our application.

It may also be worthwhile to provide a definition for 'sea,' if it is indeed intended to be more encompassing
that 'ocean.'

Sincerely,

Gary
