1.8 CF Standard Names: Tropopause Net Downward Shortwave Flux (tropopause_net_downward_shortwave_flux)

Record Label : tropopause_net_downward_shortwave_flux

Record Title : Tropopause Net Downward Shortwave Flux

CF Standard Name : tropopause_net_downward_shortwave_flux

Record Description : "shortwave" means shortwave 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.
