Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cell_measures | area: areacello |
| cell_methods | amns-tmn (Time Mean over Sea) |
| cmip6_frequency | mon |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | SImon (Monthly sea-ice data) |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| description | Rate of change of sea-ice mass through melting at the ice surface divided by grid-cell area. This number is independent of the actual fate of the meltwater, and will hence include all sea-ice meltwater that drains into the ocean and all sea-ice meltwater that is collected by a melt-pond parameterisation. Always negative or zero. |
