Record Label : tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation
Record Title : Tendency of Air Temperature due to Stratiform Cloud And Precipitation
CF Standard Name : tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation
Record Description : The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. 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. In an atmosphere model, stratiform cloud is that produced by large-scale convergence (not the convection schemes). "Precipitation" in the earth's atmosphere means precipitation of water in all phases. A variable with the standard name tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation should contain net latent heating effects of all processes which convert stratiform clouds and precipitation between water vapor, liquid or ice phases.
