BOSS4GMES Indicator List

SST

Sea Surface Temperature

Measured in °C

HC

Heat Content

Calculated by multiplying the volume of water by its density and specific heat capacity.
Values given are measured in EJ (i.e. exa Joules or 10¹⁸ Joules)

SBT

Sea Bottom Temperature

Measured in °C

TTBD

Temperature Top to Bottom Difference

The difference between SST and SBT in °C
