1.2 MIP Variable: Root Zone Soil Moisture (rzwc)

Record Label : rzwc

Record Title : Root Zone Soil Moisture

CF Standard Name : mass_content_of_water_in_soil_layer_defined_by_root_depth

Units of Measure : kg m-2

Record Description : "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The content of a soil layer is the vertical integral of the specified quantity within the layer. The quantity with standard name mass_content_of_water_in_soil_layer_defined_by_root_depth is the vertical integral between the surface and the depth to which plant roots penetrate. A coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable with standard name root_depth can be used to specify the extent of the layer. "Water" means water in all phases.
