1.8 CF Standard Names: Surface Runoff Flux (surface_runoff_flux)

Record Label : surface_runoff_flux

Record Title : Surface Runoff Flux

CF Standard Name : surface_runoff_flux

Record Description : The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. Runoff is the liquid water which drains from land. If not specified, "runoff" refers to the sum of surface runoff and subsurface drainage. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
