1.2 MIP Variable: Heat Flux into Sea Water Due to Iceberg Thermodynamics (hfibthermds)

Record Label : hfibthermds

Record Title : Heat Flux into Sea Water Due to Iceberg Thermodynamics

CF Standard Name : heat_flux_into_sea_water_due_to_iceberg_thermodynamics

Units of Measure : W m-2

Record Description : In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. 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. " Iceberg thermodynamics" refers to the addition or subtraction of mass due to surface and basal fluxes, i.e., due to melting, sublimation and fusion.
