+roughly aligned with the terrain-slope. ||
+||hr  ||heating rate||K/s ||Indicates the heating/cooling of an air volume by direct heating/cooling of the air volume by radiation flux divergences (only RRTMG), by diabatic processes at plants, as well as by surface forcing. Note, no heating/cooling by advection, condensation, etc. is considered. This quantity is especially useful to evaluate katabatic flows where radiative cooling of air volumes, emission at plant surfaces, and radiative surface cooling are dominant. ||
