ice_conc#
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| long_name | The filtered sea ice concentration on the southern hemisphere |
| comment | This field contains the ice concentration from field ice_conc_unfiltered, which has been filtered to remove spurious ice. Note, this removes some amounts of valid ice at the ice edge. |

| grid_mapping | Polar_Stereographic_Grid |
ice_conc_unfiltered#
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| long_name | The unfiltered sea ice concentration on the southern hemisphere |
| comment | This field contains the unfiltered ice concentration. A climatology mask has been applied to remove spurious ice, but no other filtering is applied. This field may contain spurious ice. If a filtered field is required, use the \"ice_conc\" field. |

masks#
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| long_name | masks used to filter ice concentration |
| comment | This bitmask gives the masks which have been applied to convert the ice_conc_unfiltered variable to the ice_conc variable. |
