| description | This is the vertically-integrated heat content derived from conservative temperature (bigthetao). |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, oplayer4, time |
| modelling_realm | Ocean |
| name | ocean.chcint.tavg-op4-hxy-sea.mon.GLB |
| physical_parameter | chcint (integral wrt depth of sea water conservative temperature expressed as heat content) |
| primary_modelling_realm | Ocean |
| processing_note | CHANGE: This is a new variable, which aids in calculation of energy budgets. It is preferable to calculate it online, due to difficulties with vertical discretizations. It is calculated as an integral over hydrostatic pressure ranges, which makes it directly comparable with observations so long as integrals are over 0-300m, 300m-700m, 700m-2000m, total depth. |
