Dear Heiko,
Thank you for raising this. Indeed, the name, units and definition are fine and these names should have been added. I have now marked them as
"accepted" for publication which means they will definitely go in at the next update of the standard name table. (You are fine to go ahead and use the
names in the meantime).
While checking on the stokes names I also came across another name you proposed, fog_area_fraction, that was discussed and agreed in 2013 so I have accepted that one as well. The full details of all three names can be viewed at
http://cfeditor.ceda.ac.uk/proposals/1?status=active&namefilter=&proposerfilter=Heiko&descfilter=&unitfilter=&yearfilter=&filter+and+display=Filter.
Best wishes,
Alison
