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 | litter_mass_content_of_carbon |
| description | "Litter" is dead plant material in or above the soil. It is distinct from coarse wood debris. The precise distinction between "fine" and "coarse" is model dependent. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The sum of the quantities with standard names surface\_litter\_mass\_content\_of\_carbon and subsurface\_litter\_mass\_content\_of\_carbon has the standard name litter\_mass\_content\_of\_carbon. |
