tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_dissolved_inorganic_carbon_due_to_ocean_alkalinity_enhancement mol m-2 s-1 [M2MS] The rate of change of the ocean mole content of dissolved inorganic carbon attributed to ocean alkalinity enhancement, i.e. the additional uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by the added alkalinity. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area.
The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time.
"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "ocean content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the bottom of the ocean.
"Dissolved inorganic carbon" describes a family of chemical species in solution, including carbon dioxide, carbonic acid and the carbonate and bicarbonate anions. "Dissolved inorganic carbon" is the term used in standard names for all species belonging to the family that are represented within a given model. The list of individual species that are included in a quantity having a group chemical standard name can vary between models. Where possible, the data variable should be accompanied by a complete description of the species represented, for example, by using a comment attribute.
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.
