Record Title : Northward Ocean Heat Transport due to Parameterized Mesoscale Eddy Diffusion
CF Standard Name : northward_ocean_heat_transport_due_to_parameterized_mesoscale_eddy_diffusion
Record Description : "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). 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. Parameterized mesoscale eddy diffusive processes include diffusion along neutral directions in the interior of the ocean and horizontal diffusion in the surface boundary layer. The processes occur on a spatial scale of many tens of kilometres and an evolutionary time of weeks.
