Record Label : prthetao
Record Title : Sea Water Redistributed Potential Temperature
CF Standard Name : sea_water_redistributed_potential_temperature
Units of Measure : degC
Record Description : A passive tracer in an ocean model which is subject to an externally imposed perturbative surface heat flux. The passive tracer is initialised to the potential temperature in the control climate before the perturbation is imposed. Its surface flux is the heat flux from the atmosphere, not including the imposed perturbation, and is converted to a passive tracer increment as if it were being added to potential temperature. The passive tracer is transported within the ocean as if it were potential temperature.
