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 | tendency_of_sea_ice_amount_due_to_basal_melting |
| description | Rate of change of sea-ice mass through melting/dissolution at the ice bottom divided by grid-cell area. Note that this number is always zero or negative since sea-ice growth is collected in sidmassgrowthbot. This is to account for differential growth and melt in models with a sub-grid scale ice thickness distribution. |
| flag_change_since_cmip6 | True |
