Are you talking about the "SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY"-code? This code only assumes a fixed distribution (in fact, it is homogeneous) of "actual" ice thicknesses h (as opposed to HEFF = h*AREA), so there is no reason to save the extra fields. 
siTICES gives the surface temperatures for each category, if that is of any help.
