specific_turbulent_kinetic_energy_of_sea_water
Unit: m2 s-2
Unit ref: SQM2
"Specific" means per unit mass. "Turbulent kinetic energy" is the kinetic energy of chaotic fluctuations of the fluid flow.
specific_turbulent_kinetic_energy_dissipation_in_sea_water
Unit: W kg-1
Unit ref: WPKG
"Specific" means per unit mass. "Turbulent kinetic energy" is the kinetic energy of chaotic fluctuations of the fluid flow. The dissipation of kinetic energy arises in ocean models as a result of the viscosity of sea water.
turbulent_mixing_length_of_sea_water
Unit: m
Unit ref: ULAA
"Turbulent mixing length" is used in models to describe the average distance over which a fluid parcel can travel while retaining properties that allow the parcel to be distinguished from its immediate environonment. "Turbulent mixing" means chaotic fluctuations of the fluid flow.
integral_of_air_temperature_excess_wrt_time
Unit: K s
Unit ref: KSXX
"integral_of_Y_wrt_X" means int Y dX. The data variable should have an axis for X specifying the limits of the integral as bounds. "wrt" means with respect to. Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. The air temperature excess is the air temperature minus the air temperature threshold, where only positive values are included in the integral. Its integral with respect to time is often called after its units of "degree-days". The air_temperature variable, which is the data variable of the integral should have a scalar coordinate variable or a size-one coordinate variable with the standard name of air_temperature_threshold, to indicate the threshold.
integral_of_air_temperature_deficit_wrt_time
Unit: K s
Unit ref: KSXX
"integral_of_Y_wrt_X" means int Y dX. The data variable should have an axis for X specifying the limits of the integral as bounds. "wrt" means with respect to. Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. The air temperature deficit is the air temperature threshold minus the air temperature, where only positive values are included in the integral. Its integral with respect to time is often called after its units of "degree-days". The air_temperature variable, which is the data variable of the integral should have a scalar coordinate variable or a size-one coordinate variable with the standard name of air_temperature_threshold, to indicate the threshold.
