I-ADOPT Variable Examples

EnvThes

• air temperature

  [GEMET] The temperature of the atmosphere which represents the average kinetic energy of the molecular motion in a small region and is defined in terms of a standard or calibrated thermometer in thermal equilibrium with the air.

  

• ice cover

  

• soil hydraulic conductivity

  Soil hydraulic conductivity is a measure of the efficiency of bulk flow through soil, and defined as the flow rate per unit pressure driving force.

  

• surface air pressure

  

• water level in lake, stagnant surface water

  depth of water body in lake, stagnant surface water

  

• water temperature of lake, stagnant surface water

  temperature of the water body of a lake, stagnant surface water

  

• wind direction

  The true direction from which the wind is blowing at a given location (i.e., wind blowing from the north to the south is a north wind). It is normally measured in tens of degrees from 10 degrees clockwise through 360 degrees. North is 360 degrees. A wind direction of 0 degrees is only used when wind is calm.

  

• wind speed

  The rate at which air is moving horizontally past a given point
