Parameter surface_snow_melt_and_sublimation_heat_flux
Properties
Name | surface_snow_melt_and_sublimation_heat_flux |
---|---|
Description | The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. Sublimation is the conversion of solid into vapor. The snow melt and sublimation heat flux is the supply of latent heat which converting snow to liquid water (melting) and water vapor (sublimation). In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. |
