Soil heat flux | W m-2 | The soil heat flux is the energy receive by the soil to heat it per unit of surface and time. The Soil heat flux is positive when the soil receives energy (warms) and negative when the soil looses energy (cools). |
Justification: The heat flux is currently defined only under Product discipline 2 - Land surface products, parameter category 0: vegetation/biomass. The currently existing parameters in the same category related to soil are mostly deprecated and moved to the category 3: soil products where the soil heat flux is not defined at all.
