| cell_measures | area: areacello |
| cell_methods | amnsi-twm (Weighted Time Mean on Sea-Ice) |

| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| description | Mean sea-ice salinity of all sea ice in grid cell. Sometimes, models implicitly or explicitly assume a different salinity of the ice for thermodynamic considerations than they do for closing the salt budget with the ocean. In these cases, the mean salinity used in the calculation of the salt budget should be reported. |

| name | SImon.sisali |
| physical_parameter | sisali (Sea-Ice Salinity) |
| processing_note | CHANGE SINCE CMIP6 in Units (from Physical Parameter) - CMIP6:0.001 CMIP7:1, CHANGE SINCE CMIP6 in Units (from Physical Parameter) - CMIP6:0.001 CMIP7:1E-03, 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. |
