1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Mean Square Upwave Slope Direction (sea_surface_mean_square_upwave_slope_direction)

Record Label : sea_surface_mean_square_upwave_slope_direction

Record Title : Sea Surface Mean Square Upwave Slope Direction

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_mean_square_upwave_slope_direction

Record Description : Wave slope describes an aspect of sea surface wave geometry related to sea surface roughness. Mean square slope describes a derivation over multiple waves within a sea-state, for example calculated from moments of the wave directional spectrum. The phrase "upwave_slope_direction" is used to assign a primary directional axis along which wave energy associated with the slope calculation is travelling; "upwave" is equivalent to "from_direction" which is used in some standard names.
