1.8 CF Standard Names: Upward Y Stress At Sea Ice Base (upward_y_stress_at_sea_ice_base)

Record Label : upward_y_stress_at_sea_ice_base

Record Title : Upward Y Stress At Sea Ice Base

CF Standard Name : upward_y_stress_at_sea_ice_base

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

Canonical Units : Pa

MIP Variable : Y-Component of Ocean Stress on Sea Ice
