1.2 MIP Variable: Ocean Grid-Cell Mass per Area (masscello)

Record Label : masscello

Record Title : Ocean Grid-Cell Mass per Area

CF Standard Name : sea_water_mass_per_unit_area

Units of Measure : kg m-2

Record Description : Tracer grid-cell mass per unit area used for computing tracer budgets. For Boussinesq models with static ocean grid cell thickness, masscello = rhozero*thickcello, where thickcello is static cell thickness and rhozero is constant Boussinesq reference density. More generally, masscello is time dependent and reported as part of Omon.
