Any such division is somewhat arbitrary, and active cumulus clouds sometimes contain cloud drops much larger than this.

The TOA outgoing shortwave flux is the reflected and scattered solar radiative flux, i.e., the &quot;upwelling&quot; TOA shortwave flux, sometimes called the &quot;outgoing shortwave radiation&quot; or &quot;OSR&quot;. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, &quot;flux&quot; implies per unit area, called &quot;flux density&quot; in physics.

+ <description>Green corresponds to the green component of the RGB model. The term &quot;shortwave&quot; means shortwave radiation. The abbreviation &quot;toa&quot; means top of atmosphere. The TOA outgoing shortwave flux is the reflected and scattered solar radiative flux, i.e., the &quot;upwelling&quot; TOA shortwave flux, sometimes called the &quot;outgoing shortwave radiation&quot; or &quot;OSR&quot;. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, &quot;flux&quot; implies per unit area, called &quot;flux density&quot; in physics. The intensity is scaled relative to a reference intensity or the maximum possible value. It is recommended that the variable attributes valid_min and valid_max or valid_range are used to denote the range of possible values (e.g., 0 to 1, 0 to 255, 0 to 65,535). The radiation wavelength or frequency range for green can be denoted as bounds of a scalar coordinate variable.</description>

In a latitude-longitude system defined with respect to a rotated North Pole, the standard name of grid_latitude should be used instead of latitude. Grid latitude is positive in the grid-northward direction, but its units should be plain degree.</description>

The geoid is a surface of constant geopotential with which mean sea level would coincide if the ocean were at rest. (The volume enclosed between the geoid and the sea floor equals the mean volume of water in the ocean). In an ocean GCM the geoid is the surface of zero depth, or the rigid lid if the model uses that approximation. To specify which geoid or geopotential datum is being used as a reference level, a grid_mapping variable should be attached to the data variable as described in Chapter 5.6 of the CF Convention.</description>

  <description>&quot;product_of_X_and_Y&quot; means X*Y. A velocity is a vector quantity. &quot;Eastward&quot; indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). Sea water salinity is the salt content of sea water, often on the Practical Salinity Scale of 1978. However, the unqualified term &#x27;salinity&#x27; is generic and does not necessarily imply any particular method of calculation. The units of salinity are dimensionless and normally given as 1e-3 or 0.001 i.e. parts per thousand. There are standard names for the more precisely defined salinity quantities: sea_water_knudsen_salinity, S_K (used for salinity observations between 1901 and 1966), sea_water_cox_salinity, S_C (used for salinity observations between 1967 and 1977), sea_water_practical_salinity, S_P (used for salinity observations from 1978 to the present day), sea_water_absolute_salinity, S_A, sea_water_preformed_salinity, S_*, and sea_water_reference_salinity. Practical Salinity is reported on the Practical Salinity Scale of 1978 (PSS-78), and is usually based on the electrical conductivity of sea water in observations since the 1960s. Conversion of data between the observed scales follows: S_P = (S_K - 0.03) * (1.80655 / 1.805) and S_P = S_C, however the accuracy of the latter is dependent on whether chlorinity or conductivity was used to determine the S_C value, with this inconsistency driving the development of PSS-78. The more precise standard names should be used where appropriate for both modelled and observed salinities. In particular, the use of sea_water_salinity to describe salinity observations made from 1978 onwards is now deprecated in favor of the term sea_water_practical_salinity which is the salinity quantity stored by national data centers for post-1978 observations. The only exception to this is where the observed salinities are definitely known not to be recorded on the Practical Salinity Scale. The unit &quot;parts per thousand&quot; was used for sea_water_knudsen_salinity and sea_water_cox_salinity.</description>

The phrase &quot;model_sea_water_velocity&quot; means the stress associated with ocean current dissipation processes through bottom friction. This standard name is intended for the output of models in which sea surface waves are not included in the velocity field. Hence the sea floor stress due to bottom friction excludes any contribution from the dissipation of sea surface waves. If that contribution to the sea floor stress is separately modelled, it can be given the standard name of sea_floor_horizontal_stress_due_to_sea_surface_waves.</description>

It is evaluated as the area of interest divided by the grid cell area, or if the cell_methods restricts the evaluation to some portion of that grid cell (e.g. &quot;where sea_ice&quot;), then it is the area of interest divided by the area of the identified portion. It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction. Sea ice area fraction is area of the sea surface occupied by sea ice.

It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction.

Consequently, a variable with a standard name of sea_ice_area_fraction and a cell_methods attribute that includes &quot;area:mean where sea&quot; represents what is defined as the &quot;sea-ice concentration&quot;: the area fraction of the sea surface that is covered by sea ice.

The last two indicate derivatives along the axes of the grid, in the case where they are not true longitude and latitude. A positive value indicates that X is increasing with distance along the positive direction of the axis. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component.

  <description>&quot;Area fraction&quot; is the fraction of a grid cell&#x27;s horizontal area that has some characteristic of interest. It is evaluated as the area of interest divided by the grid cell area, or if the cell_methods restricts the evaluation to some portion of that grid cell (e.g. &quot;where sea_ice&quot;), then it is the area of interest divided by the area of the identified portion. It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction. &quot;Vegetation&quot; means any plants e.g. trees, shrubs, grass.

+ <description>Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a particularly effective indicator of heat stress for active populations such as outdoor workers and athletes. In weather model calculations, WBGT is a derived value that represents the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. Outdoor WBGT is calculated as the weighted sum of natural (static) wet-bulb temperature (Tw), black globe temperature (Tg), and dry bulb temperature (Td): WBGT = 0.7Tw + 0.2 Tg + 0.1 Td.

  <description>Wet bulb potential temperature is the temperature a parcel of air would have if moved dry adiabatically until it reaches saturation and thereafter moist adiabatically to sea level pressure. It is strongly recommended that a variable with this standard name should have a units_metadata attribute, with one of the values &quot;on-scale&quot; or &quot;difference&quot;, whichever is appropriate for the data, because it is essential to know whether the temperature is on-scale (meaning relative to the origin of the scale indicated by the units) or refers to temperature differences (implying that the origin of the temperature scale is irrevelant), in order to convert the units correctly (cf. https://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html#temperature-units).</description>

A gust is a sudden brief period of high wind speed. In an observed timeseries of wind speed, the gust wind speed can be indicated by a cell_methods of maximum for the time-interval. In an atmospheric model which has a parametrised calculation of gustiness, the gust wind speed may be separately diagnosed from the wind speed.</description>
