1.8 CF Standard Names: Lwe Thickness of Atmosphere Mass Content of Water Vapor (lwe_thickness_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor)

Record Label : lwe_thickness_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor

Record Title : Lwe Thickness of Atmosphere Mass Content of Water Vapor

CF Standard Name : lwe_thickness_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor

Record Description : "lwe" means liquid water equivalent. The construction lwe_thickness_of_X_amount or _content means the vertical extent of a layer of liquid water having the same mass per unit area. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. Atmosphere water vapor content is sometimes referred to as "precipitable water", although this term does not imply the water could all be precipitated.
