Note: the list of required variables is not stable yet. You will find in the tables below the variables that are likely to be found in the database, and the variables that were suggested as useful but did not make it to the final list.
| Name(s) | Units | Description | Axes | Frequency | DB | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DA | MO | SE | AN | |||||
| 2D oceanic variables - Mandatory | ||||||||
| Surface fluxes on ocean grid - Mandatory | ||||||||
| Upper ocean characteristics - Recommended | ||||||||
| 3D variables, thermodynamics - Mandatory | ||||||||
| 3D variables, dynamics - Mandatory | ||||||||
| Zonal means - Recommended | ||||||||
| Meridional stream functions - Mandatory | ||||||||
|
This is a volume stream function. The unit does not
include mass. The stream function should include all effects : eulerian velocities and eddy induced velocities (Gent-McWilliams type parameterization) |
||||||||
| Northward heat transport - Mandatory | ||||||||
| Heat transport should include all effects : eulerian velocities, eddy induced velocities (Gent-McWilliams type parameterization) and turbulent diffusivity | ||||||||
| Northward salt transport - Mandatory | ||||||||
| Salt transport should include all effects : eulerian velocities, eddy induced velocities (Gent-McWilliams type parameterization) and turbulent diffusivity | ||||||||
| Compound variables - Optional | ||||||||
