1.8 CF Standard Names: Upward X Stress At Sea Ice Base (upward_x_stress_at_sea_ice_base)

Record Label : upward_x_stress_at_sea_ice_base

Record Title : Upward X Stress At Sea Ice Base

CF Standard Name : upward_x_stress_at_sea_ice_base

Record Description : "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). "x" indicates a vector component along the grid x-axis, positive with increasing x. "Upward x" indicates the ZX component of a tensor. An upward x stress is an upward flux of x-ward momentum, which accelerates the upper medium in the positive x direction and the lower medium in the negative x direction.

Canonical Units : Pa
