Dear colleagues,

I want to make an application for a few more standart names I missed in the
netCDF standart name table.

1. forest_area_fraction

It describes the part of the grid volume covered with forest, MKS unit=1

2. skin_reservoir_content

A part of this quantity is the canopy water amount but additionally this
quantity contains the wetting of the bare soil. MKS unit=m

3. frozen_soil_fraction

This quantity describes the part of the soil which is frozen, MKS unit=1

4. surface_snow_amount_change

This quantity describes the change of the snow amount at the surface,
MKS unit=kg/m**2

Please inform me wether it's possible for you to add
these 4 quantities to the standart name table.
Thank's a lot.

Kindly Regards

Elke Keup-Thiel
