"Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). Net downward flux is the difference between a flux from above (downwelling) and a flux from below (upwelling). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. "Sea_ice" means all ice floating on the sea with the exception of floating ice shelves, which are regarded as land ice in models.
