Dear all,
I propose to add two new standard names for the northward and eastward
velocity components of land ice, equivalent to the already existing
standard names for sea ice.
standard name: northward_land_ice_velocity
Description:
A velocity is a vector quantity. "Northward" indicates a vector
component which is positive when directed northward (negative
southward). Land ice velocity is defined as a two-dimensional vector,
with no vertical component. "Land ice" means glaciers, ice-caps and
ice-sheets resting on bedrock and also includes ice-shelves.
Canocical Unit: m s-1
standard name: eastward_land_ice_velocity

All comments are appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
