1.8 CF Standard Names: Air Equivalent Temperature (air_equivalent_temperature)

Record Label : air_equivalent_temperature

Record Title : Air Equivalent Temperature

CF Standard Name : air_equivalent_temperature

Record Description : The equivalent temperature is the temperature that an air parcel would have if all water vapor were condensed at contstant pressure and the enthalpy released from the vapor used to heat the air. Reference: AMS Glossary http://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Equivalent_temperature. It is the isobaric equivalent temperature and not the adiabatic equivalent temperature, also known as pseudoequivalent temperature, which has the standard name air_pseudo_equivalent_temperature.
