Wave spectra, meteorological, oceanographic, and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the North Atlantic Ocean and other locations from 01 June 1988 to 22 June 1988 (NODC Accession 8800209)

Wave spectra, meteorological, oceanographic, and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the North Atlantic Ocean and other locations. Data were collected by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) from 01 June 1988 to 22 June 1988. Data were processed by NODC to the standard NODC F291 - Meteorology, Oceanography, and Wave Spectra from Buoys format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f291.html. Links to digital data are not available at this time. An analog file is available from NODC user services.

The F291 format is used to report meteorological, oceanographic, and wave spectra data from NDBC moored buoys and fixed C-MAN stations. The format contains ten data record types to: 1) Identify the buoy position and other descriptive information; 2) report the meteorological measurements; 3) report wave energy spectra and wave direction; 4) report subsurface physical, biological and chemical oceanographic measurements; and 5) report detailed information on continuously measured wind speed and direction. Each record is 120 characters in length, sorted by station and record type. Record type is omitted where data defined in that type and not measured. The first nine columns for all records are to be used for file type (columns 1-3) and file identifier (columns 4-9). The file identifier, assigned by the originator, is a unique originator id for each data submission. After submission, the NODC reassigns to this field a unique and NODC identifier for internal use.

本数据集涵盖从北大西洋及其他区域的固定平台采集的海浪谱、气象学、海洋学及其他相关数据。这些数据由美国国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NDBC）于1988年6月1日至1988年6月22日期间采集，随后由国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）按照标准的NODC F291格式——《浮标观测气象、海洋学与海浪谱数据格式》——完成标准化处理。完整的格式说明可通过NODC官方网站www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f291.html获取。目前暂未提供数字数据下载链接，用户可通过NODC用户服务渠道获取模拟格式文件。

F291格式专用于上报来自NDBC系泊浮标与固定C-MAN站的气象、海洋学及海浪谱观测数据。该格式共包含十种数据记录类型，可实现以下核心功能：1）标识浮标位置及其他描述性信息；2）上报气象观测参数；3）上报海浪能谱与浪向信息；4）上报水下物理、生物与化学海洋学观测数据；5）上报连续观测的风速与风向详细信息。每条记录长度固定为120字符，按测站与记录类型排序。若某记录类型对应的观测数据未被实测获取，则省略该记录类型字段。所有记录的前九列预留为文件类型字段（第1-3列）与文件标识符字段（第4-9列）。文件标识符由数据提交方指定，为单次数据提交分配唯一的提交方标识；数据提交至NODC后，该字段将被重新分配为NODC内部使用的唯一标识。
