product_of_eastward_sea_ice_velocity_and_sea_ice_thickness m2 s-1 [SQMS] The product of the eastward sea ice velocity component and the grid-cell mean (effective) sea ice or snow-on-sea-ice thickness, i.e. the advective volume flux of sea ice or snow per unit width. The phrase "product_of_X_and_Y" means X*Y. "Eastward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). "Sea ice" means all ice floating in the sea which has formed from freezing sea water, rather than by other processes such as calving of land ice to form icebergs. A velocity is a vector quantity. Sea ice velocity is defined as a two-dimensional vector, with no vertical component. "Thickness" means the vertical extent of a layer.
