[surface] [component] [medium] base_standard_name [at surface] [in medium] [due to process] [where type] [assuming condition]
A surface is one defined as a function of horizontal position. Some of them are single words which are placed at the start: TOA (top of atmosphere), tropopause, surface. The multi-word phrases adiabatic_condensation_level, cloud_top, convective_cloud_top, cloud_base, convective_cloud_base, freezing_level, maximum_wind_speed_level, sea_floor, sea_level, sea_ice_surface, sea_ice_base are put after at. The surface surface means the lower boundary of the atmosphere, and sea_level means mean sea level, which is close to the geoid in sea areas. Surfaces which are defined using a coordinate value (e.g. height of 1.5 m) are not represented by the standard name; they should be shown by a single-valued coordinate variable.
A component indicates the direction of the spatial component of a vector. It is one of the words upward, downward, northward, southward, eastward, westward. The presence of one of these words implies "component of". If the standard_name indicates a tensor quantity, two of these direction words may be included, applying to two of the spatial dimensions Z Y X, in that order. If only one component is indicated for a tensor, it means the flux in the indicated direction of the magnitude of the vector quantity in the plane of the other two spatial dimensions. If preceded by the word grid, the components indicate directions along the horizontal grid being used, which may not coincide with true longitude and latitude (if there is a rotated pole, for instance).
A medium indicates the material medium to which the quantity applies e.g. air.
The specification of a physical 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 process phrase. For instance, the upward heat flux in the ocean is a sum of terms due to advection, diffusion, convection and so on.
Unless indicated, a quantity is assumed to apply to the whole area of each horizontal grid box. The qualifier where specifies instead that the quantity applies only to the part of the grid box of the named type e.g. where_cloud, where_sea_ice, where_land, where_vegetation.
A condition phrase indicates that the named quantity is the value which would obtain if all aspects of the system were unaltered except for the assumption of the circumstances specified by the condition e.g. the vertical radiative heat flux recalculated for clear sky, as if the clouds were not present.
