1.8 CF Standard Names: Surface Downward Heat Flux in Snow (surface_downward_heat_flux_in_snow)

Record Label : surface_downward_heat_flux_in_snow

Record Title : Surface Downward Heat Flux in Snow

CF Standard Name : surface_downward_heat_flux_in_snow

Record Description : "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere.

Canonical Units : W m-2

MIP Variable : Downward Heat Flux into Snow Where Land over Land
