Dear CF community,
as a service to the scientific community, the CMIP6 Sea-Ice MIP suggests
to save six integrated sea-ice quantities from CMIP6 model simulations.
These are total sea-ice area, total sea-ice volume and total sea-ice
extent in the Northern and in the Southern hemisphere.
To indicate that we ask for integrated quantities in a specific region,
we propose to add the following new variable names, since the existing
variables such as "sea_ice_volume" only describe the sea-ice state
within individual grid cells:
1.sea_ice_volume_in_region
total volume of sea ice in a region
2.sea_ice_area_in_region
total area of sea ice in a region
3.sea_ice_extent_in_region
Total area of all grid cells that are covered by a minimum of a given
area fraction [usually 15 %) of sea ice in a region
We look forward to hearing your feedback, guidance and input on these
suggestions.
Thank you very much,
Dirk Notz
