1.8 CF Standard Names: Frozen Water Content of Soil Layer (frozen_water_content_of_soil_layer)

Record Label : frozen_water_content_of_soil_layer

Record Title : Frozen Water Content of Soil Layer

CF Standard Name : frozen_water_content_of_soil_layer

Record Description : "frozen_water" means ice. "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. Quantities defined for a soil layer must have a vertical coordinate variable with boundaries indicating the extent of the layer(s).
