Definition

  • In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, 'flux' implies per unit area, called 'flux density' in physics. The atmosphere convective mass flux is the vertical transport of mass for a field of cumulus clouds or thermals, given by the product of air density and vertical velocity. For an area-average, cell_methods should specify whether the average is over all the area or the area of updrafts only.
