Back with another sea ice question (well, two), specifically about calculating sea ice export. Apologies again for not being able to figure this out from the documentation.</div>

I'm currently calculating ice export as sea ice load (given in kg/m2) * meridional velocity in the surface ocean layer (m/s) * dx across the grid cell (m). This should give kg/s of ice exported out of the northern face of any grid cell (but I believe I'm wrong
about the ocean surface velocity - see question 2).</div>

(1) Does the "sIceLoad" diagnostic ("sea-ice loading (in Mass of ice+snow / area unit)") need to be multiplied by "SIarea" ("fractional ice-covered area [0-1]") in every grid cell, or does it already take this into account?</div>

(2) I'm realizing that it's perhaps incorrect to use the ocean model's meridional velocity in the surface layer in this calculation, since for example wind can move sea ice too. Should I instead be using the "SIvice" diagnostic ("SEAICE merid. ice velocity,
>0 form South to North")? Does this give the net movement of sea ice from both winds and ocean currents?</div>
