These are non-exclusive grouping of CMIP variables (e.g. monthly time slices of the baseline variables). Variables can belong to more than one group.

| justification | This is a request for daily resolution variables is necessary to analyze the evolution of the sea ice energy budget and to understand the drivers of high-frequency sea ice mass tendencies, thus satisfying the requirements of the "Sea ice changes, drivers and impacts" opportunity. The daily time scale is critical to understanding the role the high frequency atmospheric variability (such as Atmospheric Rivers) on sea ice trends and Polar Amplification. |

| notes | This variable group includes heat fluxes relevant to sea ice both from the sea ice and the atmospheric components. This is because, depending on the model, the full decomposition of the different fluxes might be available only in one component or the others, so to make sure all the terms to close the sea ice energy budget are present we request them in both components. |
