Eddy shearing stress

{
  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005274",
  "term": "Eddy shearing stress",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The turbulent transfer of momentum within a fluid, arising from the correlation between fluctuations in horizontal and vertical wind components. It represents the frictional force exerted by turbulent eddies on adjacent layers of fluid. This stress is a key component in the momentum budget of the atmospheric boundary layer and is often parameterized using a drag coefficient.",
