Message de Karl Taylor sur la normalisationn des variables:
All variables are considered to be in a "Category A" except the following Category B variables, which are either:
- intensive in area and quantify the area of a particular type (e.g., sea_ice_area_fraction), or
- extensive in area (e.g., sea_ice_volume, sea_ice_mass)
The time mean of category A variable is calculated as follows:
Amean = sum_over_time (f_n * H_n) / sum_over_time (f_n)
where n is a time sample and f is the fraction of the cell where H exists.
For category B:
Bmean = sum_over_time H_n / N
where N is the number of time samples.
Note that when H exists over the entire grid cell (i.e., isn't restricted to a portion of the cell), f_n = 1, and Amean = Bmean.
For the cases you mentioned in your email:
albedo over snow-covered surface: we will need to confirm, but this would be a category B variable defined only over the portion of the cell with snow.
LAI: Since it is an index it might be defined even over the ocean, but we need to check.

Still not well defined, but simulations likely due during the first semester of 2017
