1.8 CF Standard Names: Downward Heat Flux in Air (downward_heat_flux_in_air)

Record Label : downward_heat_flux_in_air

Record Title : Downward Heat Flux in Air

CF Standard Name : downward_heat_flux_in_air

Record Description : "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). The vertical heat flux in air is the sum of all heat fluxes i.e. radiative, latent and sensible. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
