1.8 CF Standard Names: Moisture Content of Soil Layer At Field Capacity (moisture_content_of_soil_layer_at_field_capacity)

Record Label : moisture_content_of_soil_layer_at_field_capacity

Record Title : Moisture Content of Soil Layer At Field Capacity

CF Standard Name : moisture_content_of_soil_layer_at_field_capacity

Record Description : "moisture" means water in all phases contained in soil. "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). The field capacity of soil is the maximum content of water it can retain against gravitational drainage.
