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 : down

Section of a table : Omon_oth

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 indicates correction adds heat to ocean. Report on native horizontal grid as well as remapped onto a latitude/longitude grid.

Provenance Note : Omon_oth

Frequency of Time Steps to be Archived : mon

Row index of entry in source sheet : 95

Description : Flux correction is also called "flux adjustment". A positive flux correction is downward i.e. added to the ocean. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
