1.2 MIP Variable: Mass Fraction of Cloud Liquid Water (clw)

Record Label : clw

Record Title : Mass Fraction of Cloud Liquid Water

CF Standard Name : mass_fraction_of_cloud_liquid_water_in_air

Units of Measure : kg kg-1

Record Description : Includes both large-scale and convective cloud. Calculate as the mass of cloud liquid water in the grid cell divided by the mass of air (including the water in all phases) in the grid cells. Precipitating hydrometeors are included ONLY if the precipitating hydrometeors affect the calculation of radiative transfer in model.
