1.8 CF Standard Names: Heat Flux Into Sea Water due to Iceberg Thermodynamics (heat_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_iceberg_thermodynamics)

Record Label : heat_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_iceberg_thermodynamics

Record Title : Heat Flux Into Sea Water due to Iceberg Thermodynamics

CF Standard Name : heat_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_iceberg_thermodynamics

Record 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. " Iceberg thermodynamics" refers to the addition or subtraction of mass due to surface and basal fluxes, i.e., due to melting, sublimation and fusion.

Canonical Units : W m-2

MIP Variable : Heat Flux into Sea Water Due to Iceberg Thermodynamics
