Parameter tendency_​of_​eastward_​wind_​due_​to_​orographic_​gravity_​wave_​drag

Properties

Properties of the parameter tendency_​of_​eastward_​wind_​due_​to_​orographic_​gravity_​wave_​drag
Name tendency_of_eastward_wind_due_to_orographic_gravity_wave_drag
Description 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. "Eastward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). The total tendency of the eastward wind due to gravity waves has the standard name tendency_of_eastward_wind_due_to_gravity_wave_drag. It is the sum of the tendencies due to orographic gravity waves and nonorographic waves. The tendency of eastward wind due to nonorographic gravity waves has the standard name tendency_of_eastward_wind_due_to_nonorographic_gravity_wave_drag.
