In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.</description> 4224 </entry> 4201 4225 <entry id="toa_net_downward_radiative_flux"> 4202 4226 <canonical_units>W m-2</canonical_units> … … 4518 4542 <canonical_units>kg m-2 s-1</canonical_units> 4519 4543 <amip>evspsbl</amip> 4544 <description>Water means water in all phases.
