1.8 CF Standard Names: Sea Surface Wind Wave Significant Height (sea_surface_wind_wave_significant_height)

Record Label : sea_surface_wind_wave_significant_height

Record Title : Sea Surface Wind Wave Significant Height

CF Standard Name : sea_surface_wind_wave_significant_height

Record Description : Wind waves are waves on the ocean surface and are the high frequency portion of a bimodal wave frequency spectrum. Significant wave height is a statistic computed from wave measurements and corresponds to the average height of the highest one third of the waves, where the height is defined as the vertical distance from a wave trough to the following wave crest.
