Record Label : radial_sea_water_velocity_away_from_instrument
Record Title : Radial Sea Water Velocity Away from Instrument
CF Standard Name : radial_sea_water_velocity_away_from_instrument
Record Description : A velocity is a vector quantity. "Radial velocity away from instrument" means the component of the velocity along the line of sight of the instrument where positive implies movement away from the instrument (i.e. outward). The "instrument" (examples are radar and lidar) is the device used to make an observation. A standard name referring to radial velocity "toward_instrument" should be used for a data variable having the opposite sign convention.
