1.2 MIP Variable: Sinking Particulate Iron Flux (expfe)

Record Label : expfe

Record Title : Sinking Particulate Iron Flux

CF Standard Name : sinking_mole_flux_of_particulate_iron_in_sea_water

Units of Measure : mol m-2 s-1

Record Description : In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. 'Sinking' is the gravitational settling of particulate matter suspended in a liquid. A sinking flux is positive downwards and is calculated relative to the movement of the surrounding fluid.
