1.2 MIP Variable: Ice Sheet Mass That Does not Displace Sea Water (limnsw)

Record Label : limnsw

Record Title : Ice Sheet Mass That Does not Displace Sea Water

CF Standard Name : land_ice_mass_not_displacing_sea_water

Units of Measure : kg

Record Description : The ice sheet mass is computed as the volume above flotation times density. Changes in land_ice_mass_not_displacing_sea_water will always result in a change in sea level, unlike changes in land_ice_mass which may not result in sea level change (such as melting of the floating ice shelves, or portion of ice that sits on bedrock below sea level)
