Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| branded_variable_name | wpdir_tavg-u-hxy-sea |
| cell_measures | area: areacello |

| description | Direction of wave propagation (direction from which the wave is coming) derived from the total wave energy spectrum, incorporating both wind-sea and swell waves, by identifying the direction associated with the peak (maximum) energy density. This variable is usually expressed in degrees relative to true north. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| modelling_realm | Ocean |
| name | 3hr.wpdir |
| physical_parameter | wpdir (Total Peak Wave Direction) |
| processing_note | The 3-hourly version of this variable is preferable for the science goals, but if this is not possible the 6-hourly version may be archived instead. Please do not provide both. |
| region | GLB |
