Parameter net_​rate_​of_​absorption_​of_​shortwave_​energy_​in_​atmosphere_​layer

Properties

Properties of the parameter net_​rate_​of_​absorption_​of_​shortwave_​energy_​in_​atmosphere_​layer
Name net_rate_of_absorption_of_shortwave_energy_in_atmosphere_layer
Description "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. "Layer" means any layer with upper and lower boundaries that have constant values in some vertical coordinate. There must be a vertical coordinate variable indicating the extent of the layer(s). If the layers are model layers, the vertical coordinate can be model_level_number, but it is recommended to specify a physical coordinate (in a scalar or auxiliary coordinate variable) as well. Net absorbed radiation is the difference between absorbed and emitted radiation.
AMIP code (Library of AMIP Data Transmission Standards) not specified
