Properties

Properties of the parameter change_​in_​atmosphere_​energy_​content_​due_​to_​change_​in_​sigma_​coordinate_​wrt_​surface_​pressure
Name change_in_atmosphere_energy_content_due_to_change_in_sigma_coordinate_wrt_surface_pressure
Description The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. "wrt" means with respect to. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. "Atmosphere energy content" has not yet been precisely defined! Please express your views on this quantity on the CF email list. See Appendix D of the CF convention for information about dimensionless vertical coordinates.
