virtual_mole_flux_of_dissolved_iron_into_sea_water mol m-2 s-1 [M2MS] The virtual flux of dissolved inorganic iron into sea water, i.e. the flux that represents the dilution or concentration of the constituent by surface freshwater fluxes (precipitation, evaporation, runoff, sea ice melt and freezing) in a model in which these freshwater fluxes do not change the volume of sea water. Positive values increase the concentration in sea water.
In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
