Record Label : land_ice_surface_specific_mass_balance_rate

Record Title : Land Ice Surface Specific Mass Balance Rate

CF Standard Name : land_ice_surface_specific_mass_balance_rate

Record Description : "Land ice" means glaciers, ice-caps and ice-sheets resting on bedrock and also includes ice-shelves. Specific mass balance means the net rate at which ice is added at the land ice surface due to all processes of surface accumulation and ablation. A negative value means loss of ice.
