Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| branded_variable_name | ts_tavg-u-hxy-si |
| cell_measures | area: areacello |
| cell_methods | amnsi-twm (Weighted Time Mean on Sea-Ice) |
| cmip6_compound_name | SImon.sitemptopSouth30 |
| cmip6_frequency | mon |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | SImon (Monthly sea-ice data) |
| cmip7_compound_name | seaIce.ts.tavg-u-hxy-si.mon.30S-90S |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| conditional | True |
| description | Mean surface temperature of the sea-ice covered part of the grid cell. Wherever snow covers the ice, the surface temperature of the snow is used for the averaging, otherwise the surface temperature of the ice is used. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| disambiguation | South30 |
| modelling_realm | Sea Ice |
| name | seaIce.ts.tavg-u-hxy-si.mon.30S-90S |
| physical_parameter | sitemptop (Surface Temperature of 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), This is a regional subset of the variable. If you are producing the global equivalent of SImon.sitemptopSouth30, you should omit this regional South30 version. |
