Folks: Would like to propose the following: standard_name:
lwe_thickness_of_water_vapor
definition:
"lwe" means liquid water equivalent. The construction lwe_thickness_of_X means the vertical extent of a layer of liquid water if all the atmospheric water vapor in a vertical column was condensed. The vertical column may extend from the surface to the top of the atmosphere, or between levels of the atmosphere. The surface refers to the lower boundary of the atmosphere. A coordinate variable of air_pressure can be specified to specify levels of the atmosphere.
units:
m
very respectfully,
randy
