Record Label : downward_northward_momentum_flux_in_air
Record Title : Downward Northward Momentum Flux in Air
CF Standard Name : downward_northward_momentum_flux_in_air
Record Description : "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). "Downward northward" indicates the ZY component of a tensor. Momentum flux is dimensionally equivalent to stress and pressure. It is a tensor quantity. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
