CMIP6 meta-information for temp/heat related diags #157

Open StephenGriffies opened 7 years ago

StephenGriffies commented 7 years ago

CMIP6 requests the following information be added to all temperature and heat files:

rhozero = 1035 kg/m3 cpocean = 3992 J/(K kg) equation of state = ??? freezing point equation = ???

Can this information be added as character strings in MOM6 via diagnostic manager attributes?

For the EOS, any particular string? We could provide the doi for the reference, i.e. https://doi.org/10.1175/1520-0426(1997)014%3C0735:AEOSFU%3E2.0.CO;2 ?

Just saw that we're using a linear freezing point (I forget why), so "T_freeze = -.054 * S - 7.75e-8 + p" ?

Doi seems good for the EOS reference.

Many groups have no pressure dependence to freezing point, since they only freeze in top grid cell. So linear freezing is just a function of S. Listing the T_freeze equation is good as part of the string information.
