| cf_standard_name | water_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_surface_drainage |
| description | Total flux of fresh water from sea-ice surface into underlying ocean divided by grid-cell area. This combines both surface meltwater that drains directly into the ocean and the drainage of surface melt ponds. By definition, this flux is always positive. |
