1.8 CF Standard Names: Ratio of Sea Water Potential Temperature Anomaly to Relaxation Timescale (ratio_of_sea_water_potential_temperature_anomaly_to_relaxation_timescale)

Record Label : ratio_of_sea_water_potential_temperature_anomaly_to_relaxation_timescale

Record Title : Ratio of Sea Water Potential Temperature Anomaly to Relaxation Timescale

CF Standard Name : ratio_of_sea_water_potential_temperature_anomaly_to_relaxation_timescale

Record Description : The quantity with standard name ratio_of_sea_water_potential_temperature_anomaly_to_relaxation_timescale is a correction term applied to modelled sea water potential temperature. The term is estimated as the deviation of model local sea water potential temperature from an observation-based climatology (e.g. World Ocean Database) weighted by a user-specified relaxation coefficient in s-1 (1/(relaxation timescale)). Potential temperature is the temperature a parcel of air or sea water would have if moved adiabatically to sea level pressure. The phrase "ratio_of_X_to_Y" means X/Y. The term "anomaly" means difference from climatology.
