- Attribute description
- precipitation_flux
- Descriptor
-
In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: not filled
- Attribute description
- specific_humidity
- Descriptor
-
"specific" means per unit mass. Specific humidity is the mass fraction of water vapor in (moist) air.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: not filled
- Attribute description
- surface_air_pressure
- Descriptor
-
The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: not filled
- Attribute description
- air_temperature
- Descriptor
-
Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: not filled
