| description | A velocity is a vector quantity. "Upward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed upward (negative downward). Upward air velocity is the vertical component of the 3D air velocity vector. The standard name downward\_air\_velocity may be used for a vector component with the opposite sign convention. |
