| description | Actual thickness of snow averaged over the snow-covered part of the sea ice. This thickness is usually directly available within the model formulation. It can also be derived by dividing the total volume of snow by the area of the snow. |

| 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: mean where snow over sea\_ice area: time: mean where sea\_ice CMIP7:area: time: mean where snow (for snow on sea ice only), |
