1.8 CF Standard Names: Net Upward Longwave Flux in Air (net_upward_longwave_flux_in_air)

Record Label : net_upward_longwave_flux_in_air

Record Title : Net Upward Longwave Flux in Air

CF Standard Name : net_upward_longwave_flux_in_air

Record Description : "longwave" means longwave radiation. "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). Net upward radiation is the difference between radiation from below (upwelling) and radiation from above (downwelling). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
