Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cell_measures | area: areacello |
| cell_methods | amns-fx (Fixed Area Mean over Sea) |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | Omon (Monthly ocean data) |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| coordinates | depth0m, depth300m, depth700m, depth2000m |
| description | This is a fundamental aspect of the changes in the hydrological cycle and their impact on the oceans, and due to new numerical schemes and vertical discretizations, it is important to calculate it consistently with the model formulation. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, swplayers, swplayers, time, depth0m, depth300m, depth700m, depth2000m |
| modelling_realm | Ocean |
| name | Omon.absscint |
| physical_parameter | absscint (Integral wrt depth of sea water absolute salinity expressed as salt mass content) |
| processing_note | CHANGE: This is a new variable, which aids in understanding hydrological change. 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. |
| spatial_shape | XY-B (Global ocean field on layers) |
| temporal_shape | time-intv (Temporal Interval) |
| title | Integral wrt depth of seawater absolute salinity expressed as salt mass content |
| type | real |
