Long name: Floating Ice Sheet 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_sheet_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.
