Record Label : tnpeot
Record Title : Tendency of Ocean Potential Energy Content Due to Tides
CF Standard Name : tendency_of_ocean_potential_energy_content_due_to_tides
Units of Measure : W m-2
Record Description : "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. Potential energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the centripetal potential energy. (The geopotential is the specific potential energy.) "Due to tides" means due to all astronomical gravity changes which manifest as tides. No distinction is made between different tidal components. 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. "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time.
