sea_bed_downward_stress Nm-2 Ocean processes such as waves and currents can generate forces (or stress) on the sea bed. The surface called "sea bed" means the lower boundary of the ocean. "Stress" means the shear stress (force per unit area) exerted at the sea bed. A downward stress is a downward flux of momentum. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (as the water is acting on the sea bed).
