1.8 CF Standard Names: Tendency of Atmosphere Mass Content of Hexachlorobiphenyl due to Emission (tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_hexachlorobiphenyl_due_to_emission)

Record Label : tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_hexachlorobiphenyl_due_to_emission

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

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_hexachlorobiphenyl_due_to_emission

Record Description : The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. "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 mass is the total mass of the molecules. 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. "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 hexachlorobiphenyl is C12H4Cl6. The structure of this species consists of two linked benzene rings, each of which is additionally bonded to three chlorine atoms.
