floating_ice_shelf_area_fraction
"Area fraction" is the fraction of a grid cell's horizontal area that has some characteristic of interest. It is evaluated as the area of interest divided by the grid cell area, or if the cell_methods restricts the evaluation to some portion of that grid cell (e.g. "where sea_ice"), then it is the area of interest divided by the area of the identified portion. It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction. A "floating ice shelf", sometimes called a "floating ice sheet", indicates where an ice sheet extending from a land area flows over sea water.

Long name: Floating Ice Shelf Area Fraction
Fraction of grid cell covered by ice sheet flowing over seawater (also called ice shelf).
Note land_ice_area_fraction already exist, hence the suggestion to add grounded_ice_sheet_area_fraction and floating_ice_shelf_area_fraction: These could also use instead the existing name "area_fraction", with a coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable of "area_type" and add new entries to the area_type table (http://cfconventions.org/Data/area-type-table/current/build/area-type-table.html). Alison suggested that this is discussed on list.

"Area fraction" is the fraction of a grid cell's horizontal area that has some characteristic of interest. It is evaluated as the area of interest divided by the grid cell area, or if the cell_methods restricts the evaluation to some portion of that grid cell (e.g. "where sea_ice"), then it is the area of interest divided by the area of the identified portion. It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction. To specify which area is quantified by a variable with standard name area_fraction, provide a coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable with standard name area_type. Alternatively, if one is defined, use a more specific standard name of X_area_fraction for the fraction of horizontal area occupied by X. A "floating ice shelf", sometimes called a "floating ice sheet", indicates where an ice sheet extending from a land area flows over sea water.
