Hi, I am new to the CF standard and came across this issue when I was looking 
for suitable standard names for my data in the latest standard table, bt could 
not find one. I have data from temperature sensors from three places: on the 
earth surface, at 30cm and 200cm.

While I agree with @taylor13, that using the high information is likely the 
best way to describe the quality of the `air_tempature` data at 30cm and 200cm, 
I am actually missing a `landsurface_temperature` or `skin_temperature` 
variable for the temperature measured on the ground. The `air_temperature` 
definition, explicitly excludes the surface / skin, it says:
"Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) 
temperature." So, it does not feel right to use `air_temperature` as a variable 
name here....

But I could not find `skin_temperature` or `land_surface_temperature` as a 
variable (although the latter is frequently used in remote sensing)....

So, in essence, I would also like to see surface layer variables too...
