Record Label : difvmto
Record Title : Ocean Vertical Momentum Diffusivity Due to Tides
CF Standard Name : ocean_vertical_momentum_diffusivity_due_to_tides
Units of Measure : m2 s-1
Record Description : Diffusivity is also sometimes known as the coefficient of diffusion. Diffusion occurs as a result of a gradient in the spatial distribution of mass concentration, temperature or momentum. The diffusivity may be very different in the vertical and horizontal directions. The construction vertical_X_diffusivity means the vertical component of the diffusivity of X due to motion which is not resolved on the grid scale of the model. "Due to tides" means due to all astronomical gravity changes which manifest as tides. No distinction is made between different tidal components. 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.
