tendency_of_sea_water_conservative_temperature_expressed_as_heat_content W m-2 [UFAA] "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. This tendency expresses the time change in model heat content in a grid cell due to all processes impacting the heat content, with this tendency associated with models using conservative temperature as the prognostic model field.

tendency_of_sea_water_conservative_temperature_expressed_as_heat_content W m-2 [UFAA] "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. Conservative Temperature is defined as part of the Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater 2010 (TEOS-10) which was adopted in 2010 by the International Oceanographic Commission (IOC). Conservative Temperature is specific potential enthalpy (which has the standard name sea_water_specific_potential_enthalpy) divided by a fixed value of the specific heat capacity of sea water, namely cp_0 = 3991.86795711963 J kg-1 K-1. Conservative Temperature is a more accurate measure of the "heat content" of sea water, by a factor of one hundred, than is potential temperature. Because of this, it can be regarded as being proportional to the heat content of sea water per unit mass.

The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. The phrase "expressed_as_heat_content" means that this quantity is calculated as the specific heat capacity times density of sea water multiplied by the conservative temperature of the sea water in the grid cell. Conservative Temperature is defined as part of the Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater 2010 (TEOS-10) which was adopted in 2010 by the International Oceanographic Commission (IOC).
