Record Title : Precipitation Flux Containing 17O
CF Standard Name : precipitation_flux_containing_17O
Record Description : In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. "Precipitation" in the earth's atmosphere means precipitation of water in all phases. The chemical formula for water is H2O. "O" means the element "oxygen" and "17O" is the stable isotope "oxygen-17".
Canonical Units : kg m-2 s-1
MIP Variable : Precipitation Flux of Water Containing Oxygen-17 (H2 17O)
