1.2 MIP Variable: Biogenic Silicon Production (pbsi)

Record Label : pbsi

Record Title : Biogenic Silicon Production

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_mole_concentration_of_silicon_in_sea_water_due_to_biological_production

Units of Measure : mol m-3 s-1

Record Description : 'Mole concentration' means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y, where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as 'nitrogen' or a phrase such as 'nox_expressed_as_nitrogen'. 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.
