1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Primary Swell Wave Significant Height (sea_surface_primary_swell_wave_significant_height)

Record Label : sea_surface_primary_swell_wave_significant_height

Record Title : Sea Surface Primary Swell Wave Significant Height

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_primary_swell_wave_significant_height

Record Description : Swell waves are waves on the ocean surface and are the low frequency portion of a bimodal wave frequency spectrum. The primary swell wave is the most energetic swell wave. Significant wave height is a statistic computed from wave measurements and corresponds to the average height of the highest one third of the waves, where the height is defined as the vertical distance from a wave trough to the following wave crest.
