Objet : [CF-metadata] wind stress names
Hi all -
I'm looking for a standard names for wind stress (direction and
magnitude, degree and
N/m^2, respectively), which are outputs of the COARE surface flux algorithm.
I did a search of the standard names and didn't find anything* that
seemed appropriate.
The Wikipedia definition of wind stress is:
wind stress is the shear stress exerted by the wind on the surface
of large bodies of
water. It is the force component parallel to the surface, per unit
area, as applied by
the wind on the water surface.
A search of the email list turned up a discussion of wind stress
divergence and curl, copied
below. I'm almost sure we've discussed this before, but either my email
archive isn't complete
or these terms weren't in the subject lines of the discussion.
I'd like to propose these new names, unless these concepts are already
there using different
terms.
Thanks - Nan Galbraith
* This standard name seems related, but it has a definition that isn't
clear to me at all:
|wind_mixing_energy_flux_into_sea_water (||W m-2):|
||'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.'
