The MIP table : Omon

Provenance : Omon ((isd.003))

Processing Notes : Function of latitude, rho, basin. For a model with a cartesian latxlon grid, this is the same as the "Ocean Y Overturning Mass Streamfunction" (msftyrho), which should in this case be omitted. For other models, this transport should be approximated as the transport across zig-zag paths corresponding to latitudes with spacing between latitudes appropriate to the model's resolution.
