Wave spectra, meteorological, and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the Gulf of Mexico and other locations from 01 January 1986 to 23 January 1986 (NODC Accession 8600079)

Wave spectra, meteorological, and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS. Data were collected by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) from 01 January 1986 to 23 January 1986. Data has been processed by NODC to the standard NODC F191-Meteorology and Wave Spectra format. Data in this accession do not completely conform to the F191 format. Full format descriptions are available from NODC homepage at http://www.noaa.nodc.gov/.

The F191 format is used to report meteorological data and ocean wave spectra data from NDBO. The format contains seven data record types to: 1) identify the buoy for position, duration, rate of sampling and heading, 2) identify the meteorological parameters, (temperature, pressure, weather, solar radiation, and surface waves), and 3) report time times series frequency, density and resolution of waves. Each record is 120 character in length, sorted by station and record type.

本数据集涵盖从固定平台采集的海浪谱、气象及其他相关数据。此类数据由美国国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NDBC）于1986年1月1日至1986年1月23日期间采集，后经国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）处理为标准的NODC F191-气象与海浪谱格式。本批次数据未完全符合F191格式规范。完整的格式说明可通过NODC官方主页http://www.noaa.nodc.gov/ 获取。

F191格式用于上报来自NDBO的气象数据与海浪谱数据。该格式包含七种数据记录类型，分别用于：1）标识浮标的位置、观测时长、采样速率与航向；2）明确气象参数范畴，涵盖气温、气压、天气状况、太阳辐射及海面浪况；3）上报海浪的时间序列频率、密度与分辨率。每条记录长度为120字符，数据按测站与记录类型进行排序。
