Dear Martin and Dirk I agree, Martin's point is a good one, thanks. Therefore we do need a new name, as Dirk said.
> This variable was initially called > "thickness_of_sea_ice_melt_pond_refrozen_ice ". I think we could omit "refrozen" here. Of course it's true, although I suppose snow must also fall on it, but it's not necessary to say it, I suggest. Would thickness_of_ice_on_sea_ice_melt_pond be all right? It may still be needed to have sea_ice_melt_pond as an area_type as well, since you might wish to calculate a mean of the thickness over the melt-pond area only (rather than the sea-ice area, the sea area or the whole grid-box).
