| description | The snow and ice sublimation flux is the loss of snow and ice mass from the surface resulting from their conversion to water vapor that enters the atmosphere. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| flag_-_variable_change_since_cmip6 | True |
| modelling_realm | Land Ice |
| name | Amon.sbl |
| physical_parameter | sbl (Surface Snow and Ice Sublimation Flux) |
| primary_modelling_realm | Land Ice |
| processing_note | This differs from sbl appearing in table Limon in that the flux is averaged over the entire grid cell, not just the land portion. CHANGE SINCE CMIP6 in Modeling Realm - CMIP6:landIce CMIP7:ocean, |
| provenance | Amon ((isd.003)) |
| spatial_shape | XY-na (Global field (single level)) |
| temporal_shape | time-intv (Temporal Interval) |
