How did fiberglass get the abbreviation FRP? I just read that wave height is
measured from sea level to the top of the wave. Is this correct? If so, is
that approx 1/2 the height from the bottom of the trough to the top of the
wave?

Isn't having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section
in a swimming pool?

Fiber (or fiberglass) reinforced plastic (I believe the British term
is GRP - Glass reinforced plastic).

I just read that wave height is
measured from sea level to the top of the wave. Is this correct? If so, is
that approx 1/2 the height from the bottom of the trough to the top of the
wave?

I think it is from trough to peak.

FRP is Fiber Reinforced Plastic.

Wave height, according to Bowditch, is defined as, "the vertical distance
between trough and crest". So, no, it is not 1/2 the height from bottom to
top, is equals the height from the bottom of the trough to the top of the
wave.
