eastward_momentum_flux_correction  

Definition

  • 'Eastward' indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). Momentum flux is dimensionally equivalent to stress and pressure. It is a tensor quantity. Flux correction is also called 'flux adjustment'. A positive flux correction is downward i.e. added to the ocean. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, 'flux' implies per unit area, called 'flux density' in physics.
