Record Title : Atmosphere Convective Inhibition Wrt Surface

CF Standard Name : atmosphere_convective_inhibition_wrt_surface

Record Description : Convective inhibition is the amount of energy per unit mass required to overcome the negatively buoyant energy exerted by the environment on a parcel of air. Convective inhibition is often abbreviated as "CIN" or "CINH". It is calculated by integrating the negative temperature difference between the surrounding atmosphere and a parcel of air lifted adiabatically from the surface to its equilibrium level.
