Dear Eizi > I'd use flood_water_thickness. If you're happy with that it and it makes sense to you and your colleagues, it would be the choice most consistent with other names.

"[time] duration with flood" etc. sounds a bit strange to me. I see that "flood water duration" is a phrase that occurs (in Google). Would you consider flood_water_duration_above_threshold? > Regarding 6), our planned data is only for the case of threshold=zero, but > it is no problem to generalize the concept to be symmetric with the > "falls_below" counterpart. OK. I suppose you will need a scalar coordinate variable with a standard_name of flood_water_thickness to supply the threshold, and this should have a default - perhaps zero would be a suitable default. I think your use of flags and strings to describe hazard conditions is good, and I appreciate that at this point you don't need to standardise them.
