 long_name:         Heat Flux into Sea Water due to Sea Ice Thermodynamics 
 comment:           As of May 2010, the WGOMD document recommends that instead of saving this field, the field listed immediately above should be saved instead.  In general this should be reported as a function of depth, (i.e.,  it will be a function of the generic ""XYZ"" dimensions).  Include enough depth levels to represent  the non-zero values of this field everywhere on the globe.

 comment:           The snow and ice sublimation flux is the loss of snow and ice mass from the surface resulting from their conversion to water vapor that enters the atmosphere. This differs from sbl appearing in table Limon in that the flux is averaged over the entire grid cell, not just the land portion.
