Dear Alison,
after discussions with Bruno Tremblay, we only have some minor comments
on your suggested definitions:
> 1. sea_ice_horizontal_shear_strain_rate_maximum_over_coordinate_rotation
> (s-1)
> Stress is the symmetric component of the tensor representing the
> gradient of internal forces (e.g. in ice). Shear stress refers to
> off-diagonal element(s) of the stress tensor (a single element for
> horizontal shear stress). "Horizontal" refers to the local horizontal
> in the location of the sea ice, i.e., perpendicular to the local gravity
> vector. Each of the stress components is defined with respect to a frame
> of reference. "Coordinate rotation" refers to the range of all possible
> orientations of the frame of reference. The shear stress has a maximum
> value relative to one of these orientations. The maximum over coordinate
> rotations of the shear strain rate, often referred to as the maximum
> shear strain [rate], represents the second invariant of strain rate.
- It should be "strain rate" instead of "stress" everywhere.
- "Stress is the symmetric component of the tensor..." should read
"Axial strain is the symmetric component of the tensor..."
