| description | Actual thickness of snow in each ice thickness category, NOT snow volume divided by grid area (vector with one entry for each ice thickness category starting from the thinnest category, netcdf file should use thickness bounds of categories as third coordinate axis). It can also be derived by dividing the volume of snow by the area of snow in each thickness category. |

| processing_note | CHANGE SINCE CMIP6 in Dimensions - CMIP6:longitude latitude iceband time CMIP7:longitude latitude time iceband, Changes since reverted/fixed. Variable now matches CMIP6 definition. 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. |
