1.2 MIP Variable: Surface Carbon Mass Flux into the Atmosphere Due to Natural Sources [kgC m-2 s-1] (fco2nat)

Record Label : fco2nat

Record Title : Surface Carbon Mass Flux into the Atmosphere Due to Natural Sources [kgC m-2 s-1]

CF Standard Name : surface_upward_mass_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_emission_from_natural_sources

Units of Measure : kg m-2 s-1

Record Description : This is what the atmosphere sees (on its own grid). This field should be equivalent to the combined natural fluxes of carbon that account for natural exchanges between the atmosphere and land (nep) or ocean (fgco2) reservoirs.
