Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cell_measures | area: areacello |
| cell_methods | amnsi-twm (Weighted Time Mean on Sea-Ice) |
| cmip6_frequency | mon |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | SImon (Monthly sea-ice data) |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| description | Age of sea ice since its formation in open water. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| modelling_realm | Sea Ice |
| name | SImon.siage |
| physical_parameter | siage (Age of Sea Ice) |
| processing_note | 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. |
