1.8 CF Standard Names: Product of Northward Wind And Upward Air Velocity (product_of_northward_wind_and_upward_air_velocity)

Record Label : product_of_northward_wind_and_upward_air_velocity

Record Title : Product of Northward Wind And Upward Air Velocity

CF Standard Name : product_of_northward_wind_and_upward_air_velocity

Record Description : "product_of_X_and_Y" means X*Y. A velocity is a vector quantity. "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). 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.) Upward air velocity is the vertical component of the 3D air velocity vector.
