| description | Actual (floe) thickness of sea ice averaged over the ice-covered part of a given grid cell, NOT volume divided by grid area. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| esm-bcv | SImon.sithick |
| flag_-_variable_change_since_cmip6 | True |
| modelling_realm | Sea Ice, Ocean |
| name | SImon.sithick |
| physical_parameter | sithick (Sea-Ice Thickness) |
| processing_note | Note that SIMIP requests the area-weighted average for all intensive variables (i.e., variables that are not proportional to area fraction such as albedo, temperature, or heat flux). Hence, all time samples with non-zero sea-ice fraction are first multiplied by area fraction, then summed, and then divided by the sum of the area fractions. See Appendix C of Notz et al. (2016) for more detail.
