Dear Young-In
Yes, by analogy with surface_albedo, I think surface_emissivity would be fine.

It should be longwave, for consistence with other names.
> - surface_microwave_emissivity,
I think microwave would be OK; it would need a definition. You could also have
plain surface_emissivity and provide a (perhaps scalar) coordinate variable of
radiation_wavelength with bounds to specify the range to which it applies
precisely.
Cheers
Jonathan
