Each Physical Parameter record defines a MIP variable name, associated with a CF Standard Name. Formerly known as MIP Variables in CMIP6
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cf_standard_name | tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor_due_to_sublimation_of_surface_snow_and_ice |
| description | Rate of change of snow mass through sublimation divided by grid-cell area. If a model does not differentiate between the sublimation of snow and sea ice, we recommend to report all sublimation within sisndmasssubl as long as the ice is snow covered. |
