V10 in CESM2-LENS

I am trying to do some analysis using the output of the CESM2-LENS model, and I don't see V10 (meridional 10 meter wind speed) listed. U10 is listed, and I was wondering if V10 exists, and if so, where I could find it. I am mainly interested in monthly means.

I have been pulling data from this link.

Thank you for your help!

"U10" is very poorly named - it is 10 meter wind speed, not the zonal component of 10 meter wind. There is no accompanying "V10".

Ah haha good to know. That is confusing. Do you have a recommendation as to which datasets I should use if I am looking for the zonal and meridional components of wind?
