Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| branded_variable_name | albsrfc_tavg-u-hxy-sn |
| cell_measures | area: areacella, area: areacello |
| cell_methods | amn-twm (Area and Time Mean) |
| cmip6_frequency | mon |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | Emon (Monthly (time mean, extension)) |
| cmip7_compound_name | atmos.mon.albsrfc_tavg-u-hxy-sn |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| description | surface albedo at grid cell level (i.e. the albedo averaged over all potential subgrid-scale structures) over all wave-bands; this shall apply to all realms (land, ocean, sea ice, land ice) |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| modelling_realm | Atmospheric, Land Surface, Land Ice, Sea Ice, Ocean |
| name | Emon.albsrfc |
| physical_parameter | albsrfc (Surface albedo) |
| processing_note | There is a variable AERmon.albsrfc, but I am not sure whether the definition applies to the description above; furthermore, the variable would also be of relevance outside of the AER focus, hence we may consider whether it should go into another category as well (I had Emon in mind.); Whether this variable should be provided at atmosphere/land or ocean grid, and the respective grid cell metrics, must be discussed. |
| spatial_shape | XY-na (Global field (single level)) |
| temporal_shape | time-intv (Temporal Interval) |
| title | Monthly Albedo of the Surface |
| type | real |
