Each Physical Parameter record defines a MIP variable name, associated with a CF Standard Name. Formerly known as MIP Variables in CMIP6
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cf_standard_name | compressive_strength_of_sea_ice |
| description | Computed strength of the ice pack, defined as the energy (J m-2) dissipated per unit area removed from the ice pack under compression, and assumed proportional to the change in potential energy caused by ridging. For Hibler-type models, this is P = P\* h exp(-C(1-A)) where P\* is compressive strength, h is ice thickness, A is compactness and C is strength reduction constant. |
