GRIB:

The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature.

The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. A variable with the standard name tendency_of_air_temperature_due_to_stratiform_cloud_and_precipitation should contain net latent heating effects of all processes which convert stratiform clouds and precipitation between water vapour, liquid or ice phases, including condensation (vapor to liquid), evaporation (liquid to vapor), freezing (liquid to ice), melting (ice to liquid), deposition (vapor to ice) and sublimation (ice to vapor).

In an atmosphere model, stratiform cloud is that produced by large-scale convergence (not the convection schemes).
