@GeyerB @JonathanGregory Thanks for the quick replies and solutions.
The existing "atmosphere_mass_content_of_liquid_precipitation" would work for
"atmosphere_rain_water_content" that I proposed. And both
"lwe_solid_precipitation_rate" and "surface_roughness_length_due_to_vegetation"
sound good and coherent with the naming convention of the CF Standard names.
**However, can you also create an alias "lwe_frozen_precipitation_rate" as
well?** The reason I ask for it is that "frozen rain" is an already very
commonly used term and it's quite well defined ("frozen") and it refers to a
thermal/energy state in the atmosphere and in cloud microphysics. On the other
hand, it is very rare to see "solid precipitation" used in any atmospheric
science related literature.
Thanks again,
Yuling
