Record Label : smc
Record Title : Shallow Convective Mass Flux
CF Standard Name : atmosphere_net_upward_shallow_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. For models with a distinct shallow convection scheme, this is calculated as convective mass flux divided by the area of the whole grid cell (not just the area of the cloud).
