Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: K

The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. The surface temperature is the (skin) temperature at the interface, not the bulk temperature of the medium above or below. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: K

x_wind-variance [CF-Standard Name (cell_method)]; unit: m2 s-2

Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. (minimum) [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate-cell_method]; unit: K

"specific" means per unit mass. Specific humidity is the mass fraction of water vapor in (moist) air.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg kg-1

"y" indicates a vector component along the grid y-axis, when this is not true latitude, positive with increasing y. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.)[CF-Standard Name]; unit: m s-1

wind_speed-atNearSurface [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: m s-1

sea_level means mean sea level, which is close to the geoid in sea areas. Air pressure at sea level is the quantity often abbreviated as MSLP or PMSL.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: Pa

surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air [CF-Standard Name]; unit: W m-2

"x" indicates a vector component along the grid x-axis, when this is not true longitude, positive with increasing x. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.)[CF-Standard Name]; unit: m s-1

sea_ice_thickness [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2

Geopotential is the sum of the specific gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the specific centripetal potential energy. Geopotential height is the geopotential divided by the standard acceleration due to gravity. It is numerically similar to the altitude (or geometric height) and not to the quantity with standard name height, which is relative to the surface. The Cell Method is variance. [CF-Standard Name (cell_method)]; unit: gpm2

"lwe" means liquid water equivalent. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: mm d-1

snowfall_amount [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2

surface_temperature (variance) [CF-Standard Name (cell_method)]; unit: degC2

Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. (maximum) [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate-cell_method]; unit: K
