1.8 CF Standard Names: Wind Mixing Energy Flux Into Sea Water (wind_mixing_energy_flux_into_sea_water)

Record Label : wind_mixing_energy_flux_into_sea_water

Record Title : Wind Mixing Energy Flux Into Sea Water

CF Standard Name : wind_mixing_energy_flux_into_sea_water

Record Description : 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.) In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.

Canonical Units : W m-2
