1.8 CF Standard Names: Tendency of Wind Speed due to Gravity Wave Drag (tendency_of_wind_speed_due_to_gravity_wave_drag)

Record Label : tendency_of_wind_speed_due_to_gravity_wave_drag

Record Title : Tendency of Wind Speed due to Gravity Wave Drag

CF Standard Name : tendency_of_wind_speed_due_to_gravity_wave_drag

Record Description : The specification of a physical process by the phrase due_to_process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. Speed is the magnitude of velocity. 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.) The wind speed is the magnitude of the wind velocity.
