1.8 CF Standard Names: Effective Radius of Convective Cloud Rain Particles (effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_rain_particles)

Record Label : effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_rain_particles

Record Title : Effective Radius of Convective Cloud Rain Particles

CF Standard Name : effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_rain_particles

Record Description : The effective radius of a size distribution of particles, such as aerosols, cloud droplets or ice crystals, is the area weighted mean radius of particle size. It is calculated as the ratio of the third to the second moment of the particle size distribution. Convective cloud is that produced by the convection schemes in an atmosphere model.

Canonical Units : m
