Effect of High-Frequency Sea Waves on Wave Period Retrieval from Radar Altimeter and Buoy Data

Wave periods estimated from satellite altimetry data behave differently from those calculated from buoy data, especially in low-wind conditions. In this paper, the geometric mean wave period T a is calculated from buoy data, rather than the commonly used zero-crossing wave period T z...
