1.8 CF Standard Names: Area Fraction of Day Defined by Solar Zenith Angle (area_fraction_of_day_defined_by_solar_zenith_angle)

Record Label : area_fraction_of_day_defined_by_solar_zenith_angle

Record Title : Area Fraction of Day Defined by Solar Zenith Angle

CF Standard Name : area_fraction_of_day_defined_by_solar_zenith_angle

Record Description : "Area fraction" is the fraction of a grid cell's horizontal area that has some characteristic of interest. It is evaluated as the area of interest divided by the grid cell area. It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction. A coordinate variable of solar_zenith_angle indicating the day extent should be specified. Solar zenith angle is the the angle between the line of sight to the sun and the local vertical.
