Record Title : Surface Upward Water Flux
CF Standard Name : surface_upward_water_flux
Record Description : The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Water" means water in all phases, including frozen i.e. ice and snow. "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). The surface water flux is the result of precipitation and evaporation.
