Table O0b (GFDL introduced): Annual-mean 2-d ocean data (latitude, depth, region, time:year)

The variables and output variable names listed in this table are consistent with those of the IPCC/PCMDI archive as outlined in their document titled IPCC Standard Output from Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere GCMs.

	CF standard_name	Output variable name	GFDL's CM2 variable name(s)	Notes
		Location on GFDL Data Portal relative to http://nomads.gfdl.noaa.gov/dods-data/
1	ocean_meridional_overturning_streamfunction	stfmmc	computed from ty_trans	This includes only the explicitly calculated, purely advective component and excludes contributions of the bolus velocity associated with the Gent-McWilliams parameterization.

2	ocean_meridional_overturning_streamfunction	stfmmcgm	computed from ty_trans_gm	This includes only the contributions of the bolus velocity associated with the Gent-McWilliams parameterization. This variable was not requested in the IPCC/PCMDI list of variables, but is being provided in response to requests from researchers studying the ocean model component.
