1.2 MIP Variable: Tendency of Air Temperature Due to Stratiform Clouds and Precipitation (tntscp)

Record Label : tntscp

Record Title : Tendency of Air Temperature Due to Stratiform Clouds and Precipitation

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation

Units of Measure : K s-1

Record Description : The phrase "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. The specification of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. A variable with the standard name tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation should contain net latent heating effects of all processes which convert stratiform clouds and precipitation between water vapour, liquid or ice phases. In an atmosphere model, stratiform cloud is that produced by large-scale convergence (not the convection schemes).
