Record Title : Tendency of Ocean Potential Energy Content Due to Background
CF Standard Name : tendency_of_ocean_potential_energy_content_due_to_background
Units of Measure : W m-2
Record Description : "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. Potential energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the centripetal potential energy. (The geopotential is the specific potential energy.) "Due to background" means caused by a time invariant imposed field which may be either constant over the globe or spatially varying, depending on the ocean model used. 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.
