Record Label : northward_eliassen_palm_flux_in_air

Record Title : Northward Eliassen Palm Flux in Air

CF Standard Name : northward_eliassen_palm_flux_in_air

Record Description : "Eliassen Palm flux" is a widely used vector in the meridional plane, and the divergence of this flux appears as a forcing in the Transformed Eulerian mean formulation of the zonal mean zonal wind equation. "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward).

Canonical Units : m3 s-2

MIP Variable : Northward Component of the Eliassen-Palm Flux
