EARTH SCIENCE > OCEAN > LAND/OCEAN/ICE MASK
EARTH SCIENCE > OCEAN > LAND/OCEAN/ICE FRACTION
EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > LAND/OCEAN/ICE MASK
EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > LAND/OCEAN/ICE FRACTION
Justification: These keywords are used to identify the type of grid location.

EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS> CLOUD MICROPHYSICS > ICE NUCLEI
Justification: This keyword describes the unique properties of cloud formations.

EARTH SCIENCE> ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > AIR TEMPERATURE
Justification: This keyword is a generic keyword for air temperature without specifying the altitude.

EARTH SCIENCE> OCEANS> SALINITY/DENSITY > SALT FLUX
Justification: this keyword describes one kind of oceanic flux, salt flux.

EARTH SCIENCE> OCEANS> OCEAN HEAT BUDGET > HEAT FLUX > SENSIBLE HEAT FLUX
Justification: This keyword is needed since it is one kind of heat flux.

EARTH SCIENCE> OCEANS> PRECIPITATION > SOLID PRECIPITATION > SNOW
EARTH SCIENCE> OCEANS> PRECIPITATION > LIQUID PRECIPITATION > RAINFALL
Justification: These two keywords are needed to describe the precipitation types over the ocean.

EARTH SCIENCE> OCEANS> OCEAN WINDS > WIND VELOCITY / SPEED
Justification: This keyword is needed to describe the key features of ocean wind.

EARTH SCIENCE> OCEANS> SEA ICE > AREA
EARTH SCIENCE> OCEANS> SEA ICE > VOLUME
Justification: These keywords are needed to describe the properties of sea ice.

EARTH SCIENCE> CRYOSPHERE> SEA ICE> STRAIN RATES
EARTH SCIENCE> CRYOSPHERE> SEA ICE> STRESS
EARTH SCIENCE> CRYOSPHERE> SEA ICE> STRENGTH
Justification: The keywords above describe fundamental features of sea ice.

EARTH SCIENCE> CRYOSPHERE> SEA ICE> HEAT FLUX> SENSIBLE HEAT FLUX
EARTH SCIENCE> CRYOSPHERE> SEA ICE> HEAT FLUX> LATENT HEAT FLUX
EARTH SCIENCE> CRYOSPHERE> SEA ICE> HEAT FLUX> LONGWAVE HEAT FLUX
EARTH SCIENCE> CRYOSPHERE> SEA ICE> HEAT FLUX> SHORTWAVE HEAT FLUX
Justification: The keywords above describe fundamental features of sea ice.

EARTH SCIENCE> LAND SURFACE > HEAT FLUX > SENSIBLE HEAT FLUX
EARTH SCIENCE> LAND SURFACE > HEAT FLUX > LATENT HEAT FLUX
EARTH SCIENCE> LAND SURFACE > HEAT FLUX > LONGWAVE HEAT FLUX
EARTH SCIENCE> LAND SURFACE > HEAT FLUX > SHORTWAVE HEAT FLUX
Justification: The keywords above describe fundamental heat flux over land.

Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks!
