Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your support for the proposed standard name.
I'm new to this process. I appreciate more time needs to be given to allow others to comment but I was wondering if there is anything else I need to do i.e. assuming there are no objections raised via the mailing list will the Standard Names Committee pick this up automatically and add it to the next release?
Regards,
Dan

> The definition would be similar to that for the existing standard name 'number_of_days_with_air_temperature_below_threshold', the only difference being that it would relate to surface temperature rather than air temperature. We require this to allow us to store values of the number of days of ground frost i.e. the number of days when the grass minimum temperature (= surface temperature) dropped below 0 degC. Following the approach for air temperature, the threshold would be specified via a coordinate variable called 'surface_temperature'.
That seems fine to me. Thanks for your efforts to convert to CF.
Cheers
Jonathan
