"Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The mass is the total mass of the molecules. The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including "content_of_atmosphere_layer" are used. "Snow" refers to the precipitating part of snow in the atmosphere – the cloud snow content is excluded.
