Wind wave spectra and meteorological data from moored buoys from the East/West coasts of US and other locations from 01 December 2001 to 31 December 2001 (NODC Accession 0000685)

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 December 2001 to 31 December 2001. 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.
