Provenance : Omon ((isd.003))

Processing Notes : In general this should be reported as a function of depth, (i.e., it will be a function of the generic "XYZ" dimensions). Include enough depth levels to represent the non-zero values of this field everywhere on the globe. Report on native horizontal grid. If a function of depth, perform online remapping to depth or pressure, if not native vertical grid.

Description : In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. "Snow thermodynamics" refers to the addition or subtraction of mass due to surface and basal fluxes, i.e., due to melting, sublimation and fusion.
