1.8 CF Standard Names: Product of Eastward Wind And Geopotential Height (product_of_eastward_wind_and_geopotential_height)

Record Label : product_of_eastward_wind_and_geopotential_height

Record Title : Product of Eastward Wind And Geopotential Height

CF Standard Name : product_of_eastward_wind_and_geopotential_height

Record Description : "product_of_X_and_Y" means X*Y. Geopotential is the sum of the specific gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the specific centripetal potential energy. Geopotential height is the geopotential divided by the standard acceleration due to gravity. It is numerically similar to the altitude (or geometric height) and not to the quantity with standard name height, which is relative to the surface. "Eastward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.)
