Preferred term

magnitude_of_air_velocity_relative_to_sea_water  

Definition

  • The quantity with standard name magnitude_of_air_velocity_relative_to_sea_water is the speed of the motion of the air relative to the near-surface current, usually derived from vectors. The components of the relative velocity vector have standard names eastward_air_velocity_relative_to_sea_water and northward_air_velocity_relative_to_sea_water. A vertical coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable with standard name "depth" should be used to indicate the depth of sea water velocity used in the calculation. Similarly, a vertical coordinate variable or scalar coordinate with standard name "height" should be used to indicate the height of the the wind component.

Note

  • Mapping to be determined
