northward_wind_relative_to_surface_currents is the difference between the northward_wind and the northward_sea_water_velocity (northward_wind_relative_to_surface_current = northward_wind - northward_sea_water_velocity). "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. 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 quantity with standard name difference_between_northward_wind_and_northward_sea_water_velocity is the difference between those with standard names northward_wind and northward_sea_water_velocity. A vertical coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable with standard name "depth" should be used to indicate the depth of sea water velocity used in the calculation. Similarly, a vertical coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable with standard name "height" should be used to indicate the height of the the wind component. "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). 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 northward motion of air, relative to near-surface northward current; calculated as northward_wind minus northward_sea_water_velocity. A vertical coordinate variable or scalar coordinate with standard name "depth" should be used to indicate the depth of sea water velocity used in the calculation. Similarly, a vertical coordinate variable or scalar coordinate with standard name "height" should be used to indicate the height of the the wind component. A velocity is a vector quantity. "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward).
