Record Label : temperature_at_base_of_ice_sheet_model

Record Title : Temperature At Base of Ice Sheet Model

CF Standard Name : temperature_at_base_of_ice_sheet_model

Record Description : The quantity with standard name temperature_at_base_of_ice_sheet_model is the lower boundary temperature that is used to force ice sheet models. Beneath ice shelves it is the temperature at the ice-ocean interface. Beneath grounded ice, it is the temperature at the ice-bedrock interface.
