Record Label : surface_downward_heat_flux_in_sea_water
Record Title : Surface Downward Heat Flux in Sea Water
CF Standard Name : surface_downward_heat_flux_in_sea_water
Record Description : The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Water" means water in all phases, including frozen i.e. ice and snow. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
Canonical Units : W m-2
MIP Variable : Downward Heat Flux at Sea Water Surface
