Record Label : sea_surface_tertiary_swell_wave_from_direction

Record Title : Sea Surface Tertiary Swell Wave from Direction

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_tertiary_swell_wave_from_direction

Record Description : The quantity with standard name sea_surface_tertiary_swell_wave_from_direction is the direction from which the third 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 tertiary swell wave is the third most energetic swell wave. 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.
