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

Record Label : upward_latent_heat_flux_in_air

Record Title : Upward Latent Heat Flux in Air

CF Standard Name : upward_latent_heat_flux_in_air

Record Description : "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). The latent heat flux is the exchange of heat across a surface on account of evaporation and condensation (including sublimation and deposition). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
