1.8 CF Standard Names: Tendency of Atmosphere Mass Content of Water Vapor due to Advection (tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor_due_to_advection)

Record Label : tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor_due_to_advection

Record Title : Tendency of Atmosphere Mass Content of Water Vapor due to Advection

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_water_vapor_due_to_advection

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. "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. Atmosphere water vapor content is sometimes referred to as "precipitable water", although this term does not imply the water could all be precipitated.
