Parameter integral_of_surface_net_downward_shortwave_flux_wrt_time

Properties

Properties of the parameter integral_of_surface_net_downward_shortwave_flux_wrt_time
Name	integral_of_surface_net_downward_shortwave_flux_wrt_time
Description	"integral_of_Y_wrt_X" means int Y dX. The data variable should have an axis for X specifying the limits of the integral as bounds. "wrt" means with respect to. The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). Net downward radiation is the difference between radiation from above (downwelling) and radiation from below (upwelling). "Shortwave" means shortwave radiation. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
