Wind wave spectra and meteorological data from moored buoys from East/West coasts of US and other locations from 01 January 2002 to 31 January 2002 (NODC Accession 0000686)

Wind wave spectra and meteorological data were collected from the
East/West coasts of US, South Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the
Great Lakes. Data were collected from 125 buoys with surface and
subsurface sensors from 01 January 2002 to 31 January 2002. Data were
submitted by the National Data Buoy Center (NODC).

Station identifier, position, date, time, sampling duration and sampling
rate are reported for each series of measurements. Reported
meteorological parameters may include air temperature and pressure, dew
point, wind speed and direction, wind gust, visibility, precipitation
and solar radiation. Ocean surface data may include water temperature
and salinity (or conductivity), significant wave height and steepness.
Subsurface temperature, salinity, conductivity, pressure, and east and
north current components may also be reported. Wave data may be reported
as spectral density values or (for directional spectra) as co- and
quad-spectra or angular Fourier coefficients.

本数据集采集自美国东西海岸、南太平洋、墨西哥湾及五大湖的风浪谱与气象数据。数据采集时段为2002年1月1日至2002年1月31日，由125台搭载表层与次表层传感器的浮标完成采集。该数据集由国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NODC）提交。
每份测量序列均记录了站标识符、位置、日期、时间、采样时长与采样速率。所记录的气象参数涵盖气温与气压、露点、风速与风向、阵风、能见度、降水量及太阳辐射。海洋表层数据包含水温与盐度（或电导率）、有效波高与波陡。次表层数据则可记录温度、盐度、电导率、压强以及东向与北向海流分量。波浪数据可记录为谱密度值；针对方向谱，亦可记录为同相谱与正交谱，或角傅里叶系数。
