Record Label : expn
Record Title : Sinking Particulate Organic Nitrogen Flux
Record Identifier : ba9ea916-e5dd-11e5-8482-ac72891c3257
Link to a record specifying the structure of the variable : str-157
MIP Variable : expn
Deflate: NetCDF compression parameter :
Deflate Level: NetCDF compression parameter :
Shuffle: NetCDF compression parameter :
Indicative priority for this parameter, which is over-ruled by the requestVar priority setting, but provides a reference for organisation of the CMORvariables : 2
Data value type, e.g. float or double : real
Modeling Realm : ocnBgchem
CMOR Directive Positive : down
Section of a table : Oyr_3dtr

The MIP table : Oyr
Provenance : Oyr ((isd.003))
Processing Notes : Those who wish to record vertical velocities and vertical fluxes on ocean half-levels may do so. If using CMOR3 you will be required to specify artificial bounds (e.g. located at full model levels) to avoid an error exit.

Description : In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. 'Sinking' is the gravitational settling of particulate matter suspended in a liquid. A sinking flux is positive downwards and is calculated relative to the movement of the surrounding fluid.
