Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) Author: Yuling Wu We are updating our micro-wave remote sensing products with the new version of CF conventions at our data center and we have a few physical variables we couldn't find in the existing Standard Names list (Version 72). As we think these variables are quite commonly used both in modeling and observation in meteorology (in microphysics particularly) we'd like to propose the addition of these variables to the Standard Names list.
**-Term**: lwe_frozen_precipitation_rate **-Description**: "Frozen Precipitation" in the earth's atmosphere means precipitation of water in frozen phase only. The abbreviation "lwe" means liquid water equivalent. **-Canonical Units**: m s-1 **-Term**: atmosphere_rain_water_content **-Description**: "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The term "rain_water" is referred to "rain droplet" in contrast to "cloud liquid water" to "cloud droplet". 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. **-Canonical Units**: kg m-2 **-Term**: vegetation_roughtness_length **-Description**: "Vegetation roughness" in fluid dynamics means the surface roughness caused by vegetation in impeding the flow. **-Canonical Units**: m -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
