Record Label : hfdsl
Record Title : Downward Heat Flux at Land Surface
CF Standard Name : surface_downward_heat_flux_in_air
Units of Measure : W m-2
Record Description : The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). The vertical heat flux in air is the sum of all heat fluxes i.e. radiative, latent and sensible. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
