1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Wind Wave Mean Period (sea_surface_wind_wave_mean_period)

Record Label : sea_surface_wind_wave_mean_period

Record Title : Sea Surface Wind Wave Mean Period

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_wind_wave_mean_period

Record Description : 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. Wave mean period is the mean period measured over the observation duration. Wind waves are waves on the ocean surface and are the high frequency portion of a bimodal wave frequency spectrum.
