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 | downward_sea_ice_basal_salt_flux |
| description | This field is physical, and it arises since sea ice has a nonzero salt content, so it exchanges salt with the liquid ocean upon melting and freezing. |
| name | sfdsi |
| processing_note | si |
| provenance | CMIP5_Omon, PMIP3_Oclim, PMIP3_Omon |
| title | Downward Sea Ice Basal Salt Flux |
