1.8 CF Standard Names: Convective Precipitation Flux (convective_precipitation_flux)

Record Label : convective_precipitation_flux

Record Title : Convective Precipitation Flux

CF Standard Name : convective_precipitation_flux

Record Description : Convective precipitation is that produced by the convection schemes in an atmosphere model. "Precipitation" in the earth's atmosphere means precipitation of water in all phases. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
