1.8 CF Standard Names: Enthalpy Content of Atmosphere Layer (enthalpy_content_of_atmosphere_layer)

Record Label : enthalpy_content_of_atmosphere_layer

Record Title : Enthalpy Content of Atmosphere Layer

CF Standard Name : enthalpy_content_of_atmosphere_layer

Record Description : "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "Layer" means any layer with upper and lower boundaries that have constant values in some vertical coordinate. There must be a vertical coordinate variable indicating the extent of the layer(s). If the layers are model layers, the vertical coordinate can be model_level_number, but it is recommended to specify a physical coordinate (in a scalar or auxiliary coordinate variable) as well. Enthalpy can be written either as (1) CpT, where Cp is heat capacity at constant pressure, T is absolute temperature, or (2) U+pV, where U is internal energy, p is pressure and V is volume.
