Record Label : sea_surface_secondary_swell_wave_from_direction
Record Title : Sea Surface Secondary Swell Wave from Direction
CF Standard Name : sea_surface_secondary_swell_wave_from_direction
Record Description : The quantity with standard name sea_surface_secondary_swell_wave_from_direction is the direction from which the second most energetic swell waves are coming. Swell waves are waves on the ocean surface and are the low frequency portion of a bimodal wave frequency spectrum. The secondary swell wave is the second most energetic wave in the low frequency portion of a bimodal wave frequency spectrum. The phrase "from_direction" is used in the construction X_from_direction and indicates the direction from which the velocity vector of X is coming. The direction is a bearing in the usual geographical sense, measured positive clockwise from due north.
