| 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 |

| name | SImon.sitemptopSouth30 |
| physical_parameter | sitemptop (Surface Temperature of 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), |
