floating_ice_area_with_floating_ice_area_fraction_above_threshold m2 [UMSQ] "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. The value is equal to the floating_ice_area where floating_ice_area_fraction 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.
