1.2 MIP Variable: Carbon Mass Flux out of Atmosphere Due to Net Biospheric Production on Land [kgC m-2 s-1] (nbp)

Record Label : nbp

Record Title : Carbon Mass Flux out of Atmosphere Due to Net Biospheric Production on Land [kgC m-2 s-1]

CF Standard Name : surface_net_downward_mass_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_all_land_processes

Units of Measure : kg m-2 s-1

Record Description : This is the net mass flux of carbon from atmosphere into land, calculated as photosynthesis MINUS the sum of plant and soil respiration, carbon fluxes from fire, harvest, grazing and land use change. Positive flux is into the land.
