None. Note that this is a departure from the CF conventions, which use
surface_ as a prefix. This is to maintain consistency with all other
level qualifiers that are used as _at_level-qualifier (i.e. as suffix).

Personally, I am okay with the surface_ variables that define quantities at the surface. This is partially because that is the way CF defines variables (which allows us to follow rule 1 more closely) and partially because in an atmosphere model, surface variables are usually derived from other model variables.

Is there a difference between "toa" (defined as "top of atmosphere") and "top of atmosphere model"?

This may be worthy of a separate discussion, if so I won't hold up this PR but we can address it later.
