[dinesh_5497]

I need to use Sea Salt Surface Mass Concentration (SSSMASS). it is with unit of kg m-3, i need it in the format of kg/m3day
For that should i just multiply by 24 or divide by 24?

As the variable name states, this is a concentration, not a flux or tendency. If you need the total time rate of change you can take the difference of the concentration at two points in time, then divide by the amount of time between the two points.
