Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| branded_variable_name | siflfwbot_tavg-u-hxy-si |
| cell_measures | area: areacello |
| cell_methods | amnsi-twm (Weighted Time Mean on Sea-Ice) |
| cmip6_compound_name | SImon.siflfwbot |
| cmip6_frequency | mon |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | SImon (Monthly sea-ice data) |
| cmip7_compound_name | seaIce.siflfwbot.tavg-u-hxy-si.mon.GLB |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| description | Total flux of fresh water from water into sea ice. This flux is positive when fresh water enters the ocean, and is therefore negative during ice growth and positive during ice melt. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| flag_-_variable_change_since_cmip6 | True |
| modelling_realm | Sea Ice |
| name | seaIce.siflfwbot.tavg-u-hxy-si.mon.GLB |
| physical_parameter | siflfwbot (Freshwater Flux from Sea Ice) |
| primary_modelling_realm | Sea Ice |
| 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. CHANGE SINCE CMIP6 in Cell Methods - CMIP6:area: time: mean where sea\_ice (comment: mask=siconc) CMIP7:area: time: mean where sea\_ice (mask=siconc) |
