1.8 CF Standard Names: Tropopause Net Downward Longwave Flux (tropopause_net_downward_longwave_flux)

Record Label : tropopause_net_downward_longwave_flux

Record Title : Tropopause Net Downward Longwave Flux

CF Standard Name : tropopause_net_downward_longwave_flux

Record Description : "longwave" means longwave radiation. "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). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
