Properties

Properties of the parameter atmosphere_​convective_​mass_​flux
Name atmosphere_convective_mass_flux
Description In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. The atmosphere convective mass flux is the vertical transport of mass for a field of cumulus clouds or thermals, given by the product of air density and vertical velocity. For an area-average, cell_methods should specify whether the average is over all the area or the area of updrafts only.
AMIP code (Library of AMIP Data Transmission Standards) not specified
