Vertical vector field of a surface unit tangent bundle ($V={\partial }_{\vartheta }$)

On an oriented Riemannian surface, the vertical vector field generates positive rotation in each fibre of its unit tangent bundle: $Vf(x,v)={{\partial }_{t}f(x,\cos tv+\sin tiv)|}_{t=0}$. Hence $V(v)=iv$ and $V(iv)=-v$. In the canonical frame, $[V,X]=H$, $[V,H]=-X$ and $[X,H]=KV$.
