subset won't download water velocity even if it is selected

In area plot, if 'Water Velocity' or 'Ice Velocity' is selected neither appear in the netcdf file.

One option is to just remove 'Water Velocity' and 'Ice Velocity' from the variable list since these are derived products and don't appear in the original netcdf.

I think this was a choice to not include them in the subset. I think the behaviour should be that if they are selected that it provides the x and y velocity but I can see arguments for several different approaches.

Ok, if we don't provide them in subsetting then we should remove them from the list of variables to download.

In my view, if someone wanted Water Velocity then they could download both x/y components and calculate it themselves.

Remove Velocity download from subset options (still capable of plotting)

We should investigate to see if the calculation layer will take care of this automatically.
