1.8 CF Standard Names: Wind Speed Shear (wind_speed_shear)

Record Label : wind_speed_shear

Record Title : Wind Speed Shear

CF Standard Name : wind_speed_shear

Record Description : 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. Wind speed shear is the derivative of wind speed with respect to height.
