Dear Jonathan,
u and v components of momentum fluxes due to vertical
diffusion (rho*u'w' and rho*v'w').
I checked the CF list and found the following two possible naming
alternatives:
1) downward_eastward_momentum_flux_in_air_due_to_diffusion [Pa]
downward_northward_momentum_flux_in_air_due_to_diffusion [Pa]
2) atmosphere_eastward_stress_due_to_diffusion [Pa]
atmosphere_northward_stress_due_to_diffusion [Pa]
If it's a flux that you want, I think (1) is the right choice.
(2) is more intended for the difference in flux, corresponding to
an acceleration.
Thanks for advice. Personally I was also giving preference to the first
option. Hence I would be very grateful if the two standard names
mentioned in (1) could be added to the CF table.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Tomas
