1.8 CF Standard Names: Net Rate of Absorption of Shortwave Energy in Ocean Layer (net_rate_of_absorption_of_shortwave_energy_in_ocean_layer)

Record Label : net_rate_of_absorption_of_shortwave_energy_in_ocean_layer

Record Title : Net Rate of Absorption of Shortwave Energy in Ocean Layer

CF Standard Name : net_rate_of_absorption_of_shortwave_energy_in_ocean_layer

Record Description : "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. "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. Net absorbed radiation is the difference between absorbed and emitted radiation.
