1.8 CF Standard Names: Atmosphere Potential Energy Content (atmosphere_potential_energy_content)

Record Label : atmosphere_potential_energy_content

Record Title : Atmosphere Potential Energy Content

CF Standard Name : atmosphere_potential_energy_content

Record Description : "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. Potential energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the centripetal potential energy. (The geopotential is the specific potential energy.)
