A couple more pieces of information about this...
1) The GFS u/v wind component variables do appear to use the proper naming
conventions (per ncWMS2 documentation
<https://reading-escience-centre.gitbooks.io/ncwms-user-guide/content/05-data_formats.html#vector>
)
2) Using similar model output but in NetCDF format (instead of GRIB2) and
specifying featureType="FMRC", the wind vectors work fine.
