1.2 MIP Variable: Deep Convective Mass Flux (dmc)

Record Label : dmc

Record Title : Deep Convective Mass Flux

CF Standard Name : atmosphere_net_upward_deep_convective_mass_flux

Units of Measure : kg m-2 s-1

Record Description : The net mass flux represents the difference between the updraft and downdraft components. This is calculated as the convective mass flux divided by the area of the whole grid cell (not just the area of the cloud).
