bolus_sea_water_x_velocity m s-1 [http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P061/current/UVAA] P07 id: CFV10N7 A velocity is a vector quantity. "x" indicates a vector component along the grid x-axis, positive with increasing x. 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. bolus_sea_water_x_velocity is used in some parameterisations of lateral diffusion in the ocean.

sea_water_x_velocity_due_to_parameterized_mesoscale_eddies m s-1 [UVAA] P07 id: EISQFY55 A velocity is a vector quantity. "x" indicates a vector component along the grid x-axis, positive with increasing x. 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. sea_water_x_velocity_due_to_parameterized_mesoscale_eddies is used in some parameterisations of lateral diffusion in the ocean.
