Record Label : land_ice_vertical_mean_y_velocity

Record Title : Land Ice Vertical Mean Y Velocity

CF Standard Name : land_ice_vertical_mean_y_velocity

Record Description : A velocity is a vector quantity. "y" indicates a vector component along the grid y-axis, positive with increasing y. "Land ice" means glaciers, ice-caps and ice-sheets resting on bedrock and also includes ice-shelves. The vertical mean land ice velocity is the average from the bedrock to the surface of the ice.

Canonical Units : m s-1

MIP Variable : Y-Component of Land Ice Vertical Mean Velocity
