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 | land_ice_mass_not_displacing_sea_water |
| description | The ice sheet mass is computed as the volume above flotation times density. Changes in land\_ice\_mass\_not\_displacing\_sea\_water will always result in a change in sea level, unlike changes in land\_ice\_mass which may not result in sea level change (such as melting of the floating ice shelves, or portion of ice that sits on bedrock below sea level) |
