1.8 CF Standard Names: Upward Heat Flux in Air (upward_heat_flux_in_air)

Record Label : upward_heat_flux_in_air

Record Title : Upward Heat Flux in Air

CF Standard Name : upward_heat_flux_in_air

Record Description : "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). The vertical heat flux in air is the sum of all heat fluxes i.e. radiative, latent and sensible. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
