Is any distinction needed between ice over land and ice over ocean?

@travissluka we discussed this in-person and you had some thoughts?

good point, it's probably best to keep skin_temperature_at_surface_over_ice for when we don't care if it is land ice or ocean ice, and have separate variables for land and ocean.
@svahl991 I don't think we do anything with land ice at the moment (in my world all ice is ocean ice) but distinguishing between the two might be needed in the future
