In GFS_surface_composites_post.meta and GFS_surface_composites_pre.meta the standard name and long name of snowd (and snowd_lnd and snowd_ice) are incorrect.
snowd is the physical snow depth (compare to weasd which is the liquid equivalent snow depth = amount of water in the snow pack)
Both files have:
[snowd]
standard_name = lwe_surface_snow
long_name = water equivalent snow depth
which should be just "snow depth" with no "water equivalent"
Also, the weasd standard name given as:
lwe_thickness_of_surface_snow_amount which is probably correct if lwe stands for "liquid water equivalent"
The weasd_lnd standard_name is water_equivalent_accumulated_snow_depth_over_land which is a better descriptor.
Steps to Reproduce
This is a documentation fix only.
