sea_surface_buoyancy_flux m2 s-3 [SQM3] A variable quantifying net density gains (or losses) in water parcel buoyancy based on thermal (heat flux) and haline (precipitation minus evaporation) forcings at the air-sea interface. A positive value indicates a buoyancy flux into the ocean that will stabilize (stratify) the surface ocean layer.
