Each Physical Parameter record defines a MIP variable name, associated with a CF Standard Name. Formerly known as MIP Variables in CMIP6
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cf_standard_name | atmosphere_net_upward_shallow_convective_mass_flux |
| description | The net mass flux represents the difference between the updraft and downdraft components. For models with a distinct shallow convection scheme, this is calculated as convective mass flux divided by the area of the whole grid cell (not just the area of the cloud). |
