Hi Jonathan,
Yes I think it would be correct to describe the peak wave period as:
sea_surface_wave_period_at_maximum_variance_spectral_density
but I'm not sure if it should be
sea_surface_wave_period_at_peak_variance_spectral_density
The existing names use "mean" in the standard names for the mean periods so should "peak" not "maximum" be used for the peak Period?
Cheers,
Jenny

Dear Jenny and Roy
Would it be correct to describe
sea_surface_wave_period_at_wave_energy_peak
as
sea_surface_wave_period_at_maximum_variance_spectral_density
which would be more consistent with the existing names?
Cheers
Jonathan
