1.8 CF Standard Names: Tendency of Atmosphere Mole Concentration of Nitrous Oxide due to Chemical Destruction (tendency_of_atmosphere_mole_concentration_of_nitrous_oxide_due_to_chemical_destruction)

Record Label : tendency_of_atmosphere_mole_concentration_of_nitrous_oxide_due_to_chemical_destruction

Record Title : Tendency of Atmosphere Mole Concentration of Nitrous Oxide due to Chemical Destruction

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_atmosphere_mole_concentration_of_nitrous_oxide_due_to_chemical_destruction

Record Description : The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. Mole concentration means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for nitrous oxide is N2O. 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. "Chemical destruction" means the result of all chemical reactions within the medium (here, atmosphere) that remove a certain amount of a particular species from the medium.

Canonical Units : mol m-3 s-1
