1.8 CF Standard Names: Sinking Mole Flux of Particulate Iron in Sea Water (sinking_mole_flux_of_particulate_iron_in_sea_water)

Record Label : sinking_mole_flux_of_particulate_iron_in_sea_water

Record Title : Sinking Mole Flux of Particulate Iron in Sea Water

CF Standard Name : sinking_mole_flux_of_particulate_iron_in_sea_water

Record Description : In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. 'Sinking' is the gravitational settling of particulate matter suspended in a liquid. A sinking flux is positive downwards and is calculated relative to the movement of the surrounding fluid.

Canonical Units : mol m-2 s-1
