1.8 CF Standard Names: Specific Turbulent Kinetic Energy Dissipation in Sea Water (specific_turbulent_kinetic_energy_dissipation_in_sea_water)

Record Label : specific_turbulent_kinetic_energy_dissipation_in_sea_water

Record Title : Specific Turbulent Kinetic Energy Dissipation in Sea Water

CF Standard Name : specific_turbulent_kinetic_energy_dissipation_in_sea_water

Record Description : "Specific" means per unit mass. "Turbulent kinetic energy" is the kinetic energy of chaotic fluctuations of the fluid flow. The dissipation of kinetic energy arises in ocean models as a result of the viscosity of sea water.

Canonical Units : W kg-1
