1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Wave Stokes Drift Speed (sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_speed)

Record Label : sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_speed

Record Title : Sea Surface Wave Stokes Drift Speed

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_speed

Record Description : The Stokes drift velocity is the average velocity when following a specific fluid parcel as it travels with the fluid flow. For instance, a particle floating at the free surface of water waves, experiences a net Stokes drift velocity in the direction of wave propagation. Speed is the magnitude of velocity.
