1.2 MIP Variable: Heat Flux into Sea Water Due to Snow Thermodynamics (hfsnthermds)

Record Label : hfsnthermds

Record Title : Heat Flux into Sea Water Due to Snow Thermodynamics

CF Standard Name : heat_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_snow_thermodynamics

Units of Measure : W m-2

Record Description : 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. "Snow thermodynamics" refers to the addition or subtraction of mass due to surface and basal fluxes, i.e., due to melting, sublimation and fusion.
