Parameter integral_​of_​toa_​net_​downward_​shortwave_​flux_​wrt_​time

Properties

Properties of the parameter integral_​of_​toa_​net_​downward_​shortwave_​flux_​wrt_​time
Name integral_of_toa_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. "toa" means top of 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.
