DOT Acoustic Wave and Current Deployments

This point feature class contains the locations of AWAC deployments across the state of Western Australia. Historic Tide and Wave data is held by DOT from Wyndham to Esperance. Tide; AWAC; Wave; Pressure and Current data currently available at the Department of Transport, Fremantle. This data can be ordered at the following link:http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine/historical-tide-and-wave-data.aspWave data supplied is obtained by post-processing raw data from Datawell Wave rider. buoys. Wave statistics are produced by spectral analysis of raw elevations. The statistics supplied are the significant wave height (Hs) in metres, Peak Period (Tp) in seconds, Mean Period (T1) in seconds. These are supplied for the total wave as well as the separated sea and swell components. The sea:swell split is 8s.Directional data additionally has the direction at Tp of the sea and swell components. Directions are given in degrees from magnetic north. The directions as are calculated by the wave buoy at the Tp computed by the post-processing software.
