[CF-metadata] CF-metadata Digest, Vol 198, Issue 8

Hello Jonathan, yes I am not proposing at_bottom as a suffix,
_at_sea_floor is the one to be used. Just recapitulating, my
suggestions of variables to be included in the CF standard names table
are:

# at sea floor currents
eastward_sea_water_velocity_at_sea_floor
northward_sea_water_velocity_at_sea_floor
sea_water_to_direction_at_sea_floor
sea_water_speed_at_sea_floor

# currents due to tides
eastward_sea_water_velocity_due_to_tides
northward_sea_water_velocity_due_to_tides
sea_water_to_direction_due_to_tides
sea_water_speed_due_to_tides

# currents due to stokes drift
sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_eastward_velocity
sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_northward_velocity
sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_to_direction
sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_speed

Thank you.
