| cf_standard_name | surface_downward_heat_flux_in_sea_ice |
| description | Net heat conduction flux at the ice surface, i.e. the conductive heat flux from the centre of the uppermost vertical sea-ice grid box to the surface of the sea ice (energy flow per sea ice area). Positive for a downward heat flux. |
