Record Label : direction_of_radial_vector_away_from_instrument

Record Title : Direction of Radial Vector Away from Instrument

CF Standard Name : direction_of_radial_vector_away_from_instrument

Record Description : The phrase "direction_of_X" means direction of a vector, a bearing. The direction is measured positive clockwise from due north. The direction_of_radial_vector_away_from_instrument is the direction in which the instrument itself is pointing.
