| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cf_standard_name | sinking_mole_flux_of_particulate_organic_phosphorus_in_sea_water |
| description | In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. 'Sinking' is the gravitational settling of particulate matter suspended in a liquid. A sinking flux is positive downwards and is calculated relative to the movement of the surrounding fluid. |
