[CF-metadata] Confusing skin temperature and interface temperature

Hello All,

The CF Standard Name sea_surface_temperature includes the statement that it is ".... not the skin temperature, whose standard name is surface_temperature". The last phrase here is incorrect: the standard name of the skin temperature is sea_surface_skin_temperature, not surface_temperature. Can the definition be modified to read ".. not the skin or interface temperature, whose standard names are sea_surface_skin_temperature and surface_temperature respectively"?

regards,
Martin
