| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cell_measures | area: areacella |

| cmip6_tables_identifier | CFmon (Monthly data associated with cloud forcing) |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| 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). |
