Description
|
|
moisture_content_of_soil_layer |
mrsos
|
kg m-2
|
water in all phases in the upper 0.1 meters of
soil, and averaged over the land portion of the grid cell (i.e.,
compute by dividing the total mass of water contained in the soil layer
of the grid cell by the land area in the grid cell); report as
"missing" or 0.0 where the land fraction is 0; the CMOR singleton
dimension default value of 0.1 m can be overridden, if absolutely
necessary, by redefining axis "depth1". |
|
soil_moisture_content |
mrso
|
kg m-2
|
water in all phases summed over all soil layers,
and averaged over the land portion of the grid cell (i.e., compute by
dividing the total mass of water contained in the soil layer of the
grid cell by the land area in the grid cell); report as "missing" or
0.0 where the land fraction is 0. |
|
soil_frozen_water_content |
mrfso
|
kg m-2
|
summed over all soil layers, and averaged over
the land portion of the grid cell (i.e., compute by dividing the total
mass of frozen water contained in the soil layer of the grid cell by
the land area in the grid cell); report as "missing" or 0.0 where the
land fraction is 0. |
|
surface_runoff_flux |
mrros
|
kg m-2 s-1
|
compute as the total surface runoff leaving the
land portion of the grid cell divided by the land area in the grid
cell; report as "missing" or 0.0 where the land fraction is 0. |
|
runoff_flux |
mrro
|
kg m-2 s-1
|
compute as the total runoff (including "drainage"
through the base of the soil model) leaving the land portion of the
grid cell divided by the land area in the grid cell; report as
"missing" or 0.0 where the land fraction is 0. |
|
surface_snow_amount_where_land |
snw
|
kg m-2
|
compute as the mass of surface snow on the land
portion of the grid cell divided by the land area in the grid cell;
report as "missing" or 0.0 where the land fraction is 0; exclude snow
on vegetation canopy or on sea ice. |
|
surface_snow_area_fraction_where_land |
snc
|
%
|
fraction of grid cell covered by snow that lies
on land; exclude snow that lies on sea ice. |
|
surface_snow_melt_flux_where_land |
snm
|
kg m-2 s-1
|
compute as the total surface melt water on the
land portion of the grid cell divided by the land area in the grid
cell; report as 0.0 for snow-free land regions; report as 0.0 or
"missing" where the land fraction is 0. |
