1.3 CMOR Variable: Virtual Salt Flux into Sea Water (vsf)

Record Label : vsf

Record Title : Virtual Salt Flux into Sea Water

Record Identifier : baa65a76-e5dd-11e5-8482-ac72891c3257

Link to a record specifying the structure of the variable : str-a098

MIP Variable : vsf

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 : ocean

CMOR Directive Positive :

Section of a table : Omon_oth

Link to MIP table record : Omon

The MIP table : Omon

Provenance : Omon ((isd.003))

Processing Notes : If this does not vary from one year to the next, report only a single year. Positive flux implies correction increases salinity of water. This includes all virtual salt flux, including that due to a salt flux correction. Report on native horizontal grid.

Provenance Note : Omon_oth

Frequency of Time Steps to be Archived : mon

Row index of entry in source sheet : 75

Description : It is set to zero in models which receive a real water flux.
