Record Label : toa_net_downward_longwave_flux
Record Title : Toa Net Downward Longwave Flux
CF Standard Name : toa_net_downward_longwave_flux
Record Description : "longwave" means longwave radiation. "toa" means top of atmosphere. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). Net downward radiation is the difference between radiation from above (downwelling) and radiation from below (upwelling).
