Record Label : basal_downward_heat_flux_in_sea_ice
Record Title : Basal Downward Heat Flux in Sea Ice
CF Standard Name : basal_downward_heat_flux_in_sea_ice
Record Description : "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. "Sea ice" means all ice floating in the sea which has formed from freezing sea water, rather than by other processes such as calving of land ice to form icebergs.
Canonical Units : W m-2
