1.2 MIP Variable: Downward Flux of Particulate Phosphorus (epp100)

Record Label : epp100

Record Title : Downward Flux of Particulate Phosphorus

CF Standard Name : sinking_mole_flux_of_particulate_organic_phosphorus_in_sea_water

Units of Measure : mol m-2 s-1

Record Description : In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. 'Sinking' is the gravitational settling of particulate matter suspended in a liquid. A sinking flux is positive downwards and is calculated relative to the movement of the surrounding fluid.
