| attribute | NC_GLOBAL | comment | String | experimental prototype; MESIv1 ; Sign convention used is negative MESI values are indicative of cyclonic eddies (or negative SLA values) and positive MESI values are indicative of anticyclonic eddies (positive SLA values). Cyclonic circulation in the Northern Hemisphere is counterclockwise and anticyclonic circulation is clockwise. Directions are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. |
