| Definition | 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. Upward indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). Momentum flux is dimensionally equivalent to stress and pressure. It is a tensor quantity. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. The total upward momentum flux due to gravity waves is the sum of the fluxes due to orographic gravity waves and nonorographic waves. The upward momentum flux due to orographic gravity waves has the standard name upward_flux_of_eastward_momentum_due_to_orographic_gravity_waves. The total upward momentum flux due to nonorographic gravity waves is the sum of the fluxes due to eastward and westward propagating waves. The former has the standard name upward_flux_of_eastward_momentum_due_to_nonorographic_eastward _gravity_waves. | ||
