1.8 CF Standard Names: Tendency of Mass Content of Water Vapor in Atmosphere Layer (tendency_of_mass_content_of_water_vapor_in_atmosphere_layer)

Record Label : tendency_of_mass_content_of_water_vapor_in_atmosphere_layer

Record Title : Tendency of Mass Content of Water Vapor in Atmosphere Layer

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_mass_content_of_water_vapor_in_atmosphere_layer

Record Description : "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "Layer" means any layer with upper and lower boundaries that have constant values in some vertical coordinate. There must be a vertical coordinate variable indicating the extent of the layer(s). If the layers are model layers, the vertical coordinate can be model_level_number, but it is recommended to specify a physical coordinate (in a scalar or auxiliary coordinate variable) as well.
