1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Wave Stokes Drift X Velocity (sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_x_velocity)

Record Label : sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_x_velocity

Record Title : Sea Surface Wave Stokes Drift X Velocity

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_wave_stokes_drift_x_velocity

Record Description : A velocity is a vector quantity. "x" indicates a vector component along the grid x-axis, positive with increasing x. 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.
