1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Height Bias due to Sea Surface Roughness (sea_surface_height_bias_due_to_sea_surface_roughness)

Record Label : sea_surface_height_bias_due_to_sea_surface_roughness

Record Title : Sea Surface Height Bias due to Sea Surface Roughness

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_height_bias_due_to_sea_surface_roughness

Record Description : Altimeter pulses tend to be more strongly reflected by the troughs of sea surface waves than by the crests leading to a bias in the measured sea surface height. This quantity is commonly known as "sea state bias". "Sea surface height" is a time-varying quantity. The specification of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase.
