In looking at the CF standard name table there is
a name for "area_fraction", but I need specific
names for area_fraction of sea-ice, land, and ocean.
So I propose three new names...

area_fraction_of_sea-ice
area_fraction_of_land
area_fraction_of_ocean

Can these be added to the standard name table?
Because, they are similar it's important to
distinquish them.
