1.8 CF Standard Names: Tendency of Atmosphere Mass Content of Ethyne due to Emission (tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_ethyne_due_to_emission)

Record Label : tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_ethyne_due_to_emission

Record Title : Tendency of Atmosphere Mass Content of Ethyne due to Emission

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_ethyne_due_to_emission

Record Description : "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. 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. The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. "Emission" means emission from a primary source located anywhere within the atmosphere, including at the lower boundary (i.e. earth's surface). "Emission" is a process entirely distinct from "re-emission" which is used in some standard names. The chemical formula for ethyne is HC2H. Ethyne is the IUPAC name for this species, which is also commonly known as acetylene.
