bolus_northward_sea_water_velocity m s-1 P07 id: CFV8N5 Bolus velocity in an ocean model means the velocity due to a scheme representing eddy-induced effects which are not resolved on the grid scale of the model. "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward).

northward_sea_water_velocity_due_to_parameterized_mesoscale_eddies m s-1 [UVAA] P07 id: 556S8S17 "Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). The specification of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. Parameterized mesoscale eddies occur on a spatial scale of many tens of kilometres and an evolutionary time of weeks. Reference: James C.

Parameterized mesoscale eddies are represented in ocean models using schemes such as the Gent-McWilliams scheme.
