Please add the term drizzle #1383

The term drizzle is both in the GCW glossary with definition "Precipitation from stratus clouds, consisting of minute, fine water droplets which appear to float" and in the SWEET ontology http://sweetontology.net/phenAtmoPrecipitation/Drizzle with definition "Very small, numerous, and uniformly distributed water drops that may appear to float while following air currents".

Suggest that "drizzle process" be added under both aeolian transport process (ENVO_03000020) and hydrological precipitation process (ENVO_01000703) since both air flow (i.e., wind) and gravity affect the motion of the droplets.

Note: This is not urgent but included for completeness
