northward_air_velocity_relative_to_sea_water

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).
