Properties

Properties of the parameter surface_​net_​upward_​longwave_​flux
Name surface_net_upward_longwave_flux
Description The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. "longwave" means longwave radiation. "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). Net upward radiation is the difference between radiation from below (upwelling) and radiation from above (downwelling).
