Indicative priority for this parameter, which is over-ruled by the requestVar priority setting, but provides a reference for organisation of the CMORvariables : 1

Data value type, e.g. float or double : real

Modeling Realm : ocean

CMOR Directive Positive :

Link to MIP table record : Odec

The MIP table : Odec

Provenance : Odec ((isd.003))

Processing Notes : Note change from CMIP5 K to CMIP6 C. Report on native horizontal grid as well as on a spherical latitude/longitude grid.

Frequency of Time Steps to be Archived : dec

Row index of entry in source sheet : 9

Description : This may differ from "surface temperature" in regions of sea ice or floating ice shelves. For models using conservative temperature as the prognostic field, they should report the top ocean layer as surface potential temperature, which is the same as surface in situ temperature.

Request variable (carrying priority and link to group) : tos ((isd.006))
