1.8 CF Standard Names: Virtual Salt Flux Into Sea Water due to Rainfall (virtual_salt_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_rainfall)

Record Label : virtual_salt_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_rainfall

Record Title : Virtual Salt Flux Into Sea Water due to Rainfall

CF Standard Name : virtual_salt_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_rainfall

Record Description : The virtual_salt_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_process is the salt flux that would have the same effect on the sea surface salinity as water_flux_out_of_sea_water_due_to_process. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase.

Canonical Units : kg m-2 s-1
