1.8 CF Standard Names: Ocean Vertical Tracer Diffusivity due to Convection (ocean_vertical_tracer_diffusivity_due_to_convection)

Record Label : ocean_vertical_tracer_diffusivity_due_to_convection

Record Title : Ocean Vertical Tracer Diffusivity due to Convection

CF Standard Name : ocean_vertical_tracer_diffusivity_due_to_convection

Record Description : 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. "Vertical tracer diffusivity" means the vertical component of the diffusivity of tracers, i.e. heat and salinity, due to motion which is not resolved on the grid scale of the model. Convective mixing in the ocean is sometimes modelled as an enhanced diffusivity.

Canonical Units : m2 s-1
