Preferred term

sea_surface_mean_square_upwave_slope_direction  

Definition

  • Wave slope describes an aspect of sea surface wave geometry related to sea surface roughness. Mean square slope describes a derivation over multiple waves within a sea-state, for example calculated from moments of the wave directional spectrum. The phrase "upwave_slope_direction" is used to assign a primary directional axis along which wave energy associated with the slope calculation is travelling; "upwave" is equivalent to "from_direction" which is used in some standard names.

Note

  • Mapping to be determined
