1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Wind Wave Energy At Variance Spectral Density Maximum (sea_surface_wind_wave_energy_at_variance_spectral_density_maximum)

Record Label : sea_surface_wind_wave_energy_at_variance_spectral_density_maximum

Record Title : Sea Surface Wind Wave Energy At Variance Spectral Density Maximum

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_wind_wave_energy_at_variance_spectral_density_maximum

Record Description : The quantity with standard name sea_surface_wind_wave_energy_at_variance_spectral_density_maximum is the energy of the most energetic waves within the wind wave component of a sea. Wind waves are waves on the ocean surface and are the high frequency portion of a bimodal wave frequency spectrum. The phrase "wave_energy_at_variance_spectral_density_maximum", sometimes called peak wave energy, describes the maximum value of the wave_variance_spectral_density within a given sub-domain of the wave spectrum.
