Parameter sea_​floor_​depth_​below_​geoid

Properties

Properties of the parameter sea_​floor_​depth_​below_​geoid
Name sea_floor_depth_below_geoid
Description The geoid is a surface of constant geopotential with which mean sea level would coincide if the ocean were at rest. (The volume enclosed between the geoid and the sea floor equals the mean volume of water in the ocean.) In an ocean GCM the geoid is the surface of zero depth, or the rigid lid if the model uses that approximation.
