Public variables and constants

real, dimension(:,:,:), pointer t => NULL()
 Potential temperature [degC].
 
real, dimension(:,:,:), pointer s => NULL()
 Salnity [PSU] or [gSalt/kg], generically [ppt].
 
type(eos_type), pointer eqn_of_state => NULL()
 Type that indicates the equation of state to use.
 
real p_ref
 The coordinate-density reference pressure [Pa]. This is the pressure used to calculate Rml from T and S when eqn_of_state is associated.
 
real c_p
 The heat capacity of seawater [J degC-1 kg-1]. When conservative temperature is used, this is constant and exactly 3991.86795711963 J degC-1 kg-1.
 
logical t_is_cont = .false.
 If true, the temperature variable tvT is actually the conservative temperature [degC].
 
logical s_is_abss = .false.
 If true, the salinity variable tvS is actually the absolute salinity in units of [gSalt/kg].
 
real min_salinity = 0.01
 The minimum value of salinity when BOUND_SALINITY=True [ppt]. The default is 0.01 for backward compatibility but should be 0.
 
real, dimension(:,:), pointer frazil => NULL()
 The energy needed to heat the ocean column to the freezing point since calculate_surface_state was2 last called [J m-2].
 
real, dimension(:,:), pointer salt_deficit => NULL()
 The salt needed to maintain the ocean column at a minimum salinity of MIN_SALINITY since the last time that calculate_surface_state was called, [gSalt m-2].
 
real, dimension(:,:), pointer tempxpme => NULL()
 The net inflow of water into the ocean times the temperature at which this inflow occurs since the last call to calculate_surface_state [degC kg m-2]. This should be prescribed in the forcing fields, but as it often is not, this is a useful heat budget diagnostic.
 
real, dimension(:,:), pointer internal_heat => NULL()
 Any internal or geothermal heat sources that have been applied to the ocean since the last call to calculate_surface_state [degC kg m-2].
