1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Wave Significant Period (sea_surface_wave_significant_period)

Record Label : sea_surface_wave_significant_period

Record Title : Sea Surface Wave Significant Period

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_wave_significant_period

Record Description : Significant wave period is a statistic computed from wave measurements and corresponds to the mean wave period of the highest one third of the waves. A period is an interval of time, or the time-period of an oscillation. Wave period is the interval of time between repeated features on the waveform such as crests, troughs or upward passes through the mean level.
