BOSS4GMES MFS Indicator List |
|
Sea Surface Temperature [°C]
|
|
Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly [°C]
The difference between the SST of the model
and the SST of the Medatlas climatology (1).
|
|
Sea Surface Salinity [PSU]
|
|
Heat Content [1021J]
Calculated in 0-150 m upper layer by multiplying the volume of water
by its density and specific heat capacity.
|
|
Heat Content Anomaly [1021J]
The difference between the HC of the model and the HC of the Medatlas climatology (1).
|
|
Net Volume Transports [Sv]
Calculated for the Strait of Gibraltar, Sicily Channel, and Corsica Channel.
Sv = 106 m3/s.
|
|
Net Volume Transports Anomaly [Sv]
The difference between the Net Volume Transport of the model
and the Net Volume Transport of the MFS sys3a climatology (2).
Calculated for the Strait of Gibraltar, Sicily Channel, and Corsica Channel.
Sv = 106 m3/s.
