Record Title : Tendency of Air Temperature due to Shortwave Heating Assuming Clear Sky
CF Standard Name : tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_shortwave_heating_assuming_clear_sky
Record Description : The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. A phrase assuming_condition indicates that the named quantity is the value which would obtain if all aspects of the system were unaltered except for the assumption of the circumstances specified by the condition. "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature.
