Preferred term

product_of_geopotential_height_and_omega  

Definition

  • 'product_of_X_and_Y' means X*Y. Geopotential is the sum of the specific gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the specific centripetal potential energy. Geopotential height is the geopotential divided by the standard acceleration due to gravity. It is numerically similar to the altitude (or geometric height) and not to the quantity with standard name height, which is relative to the surface. 'omegaX' is used for brevity to mean 'lagrangian_tendency_of_air_pressure in standard names constructed as a combination of omega with some other quantity.
