Hello All,

we need one more standard name for ISMIP6 to refer to the temperature at the 
base of the ice sheet. There are two MIP variables for this, one for the 
grounded section of the ice sheet and a 2nd for the floating portion. The two 
variables can use the same standard name with different area_type masks 
(grounded_ice_sheet and floating_ice_shelf respectively).


The proposed name is:

land_ice_basal_temperature  [units: K]


regards,

Martin
