1.8 CF Standard Names: Square of Sea Surface Temperature (square_of_sea_surface_temperature)

Record Label : square_of_sea_surface_temperature

Record Title : Square of Sea Surface Temperature

CF Standard Name : square_of_sea_surface_temperature

Record Description : Sea surface temperature is usually abbreviated as "SST". It is the temperature of sea water near the surface (including the part under sea-ice, if any), and not the skin temperature, whose standard name is surface_temperature. For the temperature of sea water at a particular depth or layer, a data variable of sea_water_temperature with a vertical coordinate axis should be used. "square_of_X" means X*X.

Canonical Units : K2
