Heat content calculation



Dear Ferret users,

I would like to know how to calculate with Ferret the HEAT CONTENT (HC) of the water column.

I also found the formula HC = Cp * ave_rho * [integral ( T(z)*dz )]

 

Ave_rho is the average density of the water column. It is correct or Should I integrate each value with the Temperature as well ?  

 

Cheers, Manfredi.
