Properties

Properties of the parameter upward_northward_stress_at_sea_ice_base
Name	upward_northward_stress_at_sea_ice_base
Description	"Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). "Upward northward" indicates the ZY component of a tensor. An upward northward stress is an upward flux of northward momentum, which accelerates the upper medium northward and the lower medium southward.
