1.8 CF Standard Names: Water Flux Out of Sea Water due to Sea Ice Thermodynamics (water_flux_out_of_sea_water_due_to_sea_ice_thermodynamics)

Record Label : water_flux_out_of_sea_water_due_to_sea_ice_thermodynamics

Record Title : Water Flux Out of Sea Water due to Sea Ice Thermodynamics

CF Standard Name : water_flux_out_of_sea_water_due_to_sea_ice_thermodynamics

Record Description : The water flux out of sea water is the freshwater leaving the sea water. 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. "Sea ice thermodynamics" refers to the addition or subtraction of sea ice mass due to surface and basal fluxes, i.e. due to melting, sublimation and fusion.
