Dear CF community,
to more specifically describe sea-ice output from climate-model simulations for the CMIP6 Sea-Ice MIP (SIMIP), we would like to propose the following additional new CF standard names (as part of the SIMIP CMIP6 data request).
1. magnitude_of_sea_ice_normal_stress: Average normal stress in sea ice (first stress invariant), units 'N m-1?. This is a horizontal stress, which is perpendicular/normal to each of the vertices making up the a grid cell in the horizontal plane. The average represent the spatial average stress. Cell_method attribute "area: average?
2. magnitude_of_sea_ice_shear_stress: Maximum shear stress in sea ice (second stress invariant), units 'N m-1?. This is a horizontal shear, the areal maximum shear of the normal and shear stress stress acting on the vertices of a grid. Cell_method attribute "area: maximum?.
3. magnitude_of_sea_ice_velocity_shear: Maximum shear of sea-ice velocity field (second shear strain invariant)(new variable with units '1/s?). This is the areal maximum shear strain rate in the horizontal plane of the sea ice. Cell_method attribute "area: maximum?
Thank you very much for your feedback, guidance and input.
With best wishes, for the SIMIP Steering Committee,
Alexandra Jahn
