[CF-metadata] Standard name for fog as area fraction

Hi,

I would like to ask for a new standard name like

fog_area_fraction:

fog means visibility in air < 1000m due to humidity or water droplets.
"X_area_fraction" means the fraction of horizontal area occupied by X.


I could only find 'visibility in air' in the current standard-table, but
our model output gives fog comparable to clouds as an area_fraction.


Best regards,

Heiko
