floating_ice_area_fraction_where_above_threshold 1
The value is equal to the floating_ice_area_fraction where it is above the threshold. Otherwise, the value is zero.

floating_ice_area_fraction_where_above_threshold 1 [XXXX]
"Area fraction" is the fraction of a grid cell's horizontal area that has some characteristic of interest. It is evaluated as the area of interest divided by the grid cell area, or if the cell_methods restricts the evaluation to some portion of that grid cell (e.g. "where sea_ice"), then it is the area of interest divided by the area of the identified portion. It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction. Unless indicated, a quantity is assumed to apply to the whole area of each horizontal grid box. The qualifier "where_"type specifies instead that the quantity applies only to the part of the grid box of the named type. The value is equal to the floating_ice_area_fraction where it is above the threshold. Otherwise, the value is zero.

The area threshold value must be specified by supplying a coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable with the standard name of floating_ice_area_fraction.
