Wave age

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010133

A dimensionless parameter that characterizes the stage of development of ocean surface waves, relating the wave phase speed to the wind speed. It indicates how much the waves have grown under the influence of the local wind. A fully developed sea corresponds to a specific range of wave age values.
