Time-integrated surface latent heat flux
Name: | time_integrated_surface_latent_heat_flux | Abbreviation: | slhf | Unit: | W m-2 s |
Definition | Exchange of latent heat (due to phase transitions: evaporation, condensation) with the surface through turbulent diffusion. |
Validity | Accumulated from the beginning of the forecast |
Comment | The flux sign convention is positive downwards. The field will be archived once a day at 00Z. |
