1.8 CF Standard Names: Downward Heat Flux At Ground Level in Snow (downward_heat_flux_at_ground_level_in_snow)

Record Label : downward_heat_flux_at_ground_level_in_snow

Record Title : Downward Heat Flux At Ground Level in Snow

CF Standard Name : downward_heat_flux_at_ground_level_in_snow

Record Description : ground_level means the land surface (beneath the snow and surface water, if any). "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.

Canonical Units : W m-2

MIP Variable : Downward Heat Flux at Snow Base
