Preferred term

mass_content_of_water_in_soil_layer  

Definition

  • "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "Water" means water in all phases. "Layer" means any layer with upper and lower boundaries that have constant values in some vertical coordinate. There must be a vertical coordinate variable indicating the extent of the layer(s). If the layers are model layers, the vertical coordinate can be "model_level_number", but it is recommended to specify a physical coordinate (in a scalar or auxiliary coordinate variable) as well. Quantities defined for a soil layer must have a vertical coordinate variable with boundaries indicating the extent of the layer(s).

Note

  • Mapping to be determined
