Record Label : downward_northward_momentum_flux_in_air_due_to_diffusion
Record Title : Downward Northward Momentum Flux in Air due to Diffusion
CF Standard Name : downward_northward_momentum_flux_in_air_due_to_diffusion
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. The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase.
