Variable: Wind (horizontal)

Definition

Full name	Wind (horizontal)
Definition	3D field of the horizontal vector component (2D) of the 3D wind vector. The acuracy is meant as vector error, i.e. the module of the vector difference between the observed vector and the true vector.
Measuring Units	m.s^-1	Uncertainty Units	m.s^-1
Horizontal Res Units	km	Vertical Res Units	km
Stability Units	m.s^-1 (Stability /decade)
