1.8 CF Standard Names: Surface Upward Mole Flux of Dimethyl Sulfide (surface_upward_mole_flux_of_dimethyl_sulfide)

Record Label : surface_upward_mole_flux_of_dimethyl_sulfide

Record Title : Surface Upward Mole Flux of Dimethyl Sulfide

CF Standard Name : surface_upward_mole_flux_of_dimethyl_sulfide

Record Description : The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. The chemical formula for dimethyl sulfide is (CH3)2S. Dimethyl sulfide is sometimes referred to as DMS.

Canonical Units : mol m-2 s-1

MIP Variable : Surface Upward Flux of DMS
