SE.OF Oceanographic observations — Wave height, maximum

Purpose: Observe the height of sea waves and improve wave models. Assimilation and validation of models. Unit: Meters to 2 decimals. Characteristics: Maximum wave height is the maximum value over 30 minutes. Measurements are made from buoys near the coast and at sea. One value per hour. Design: Date, time, value, quality and depth of measurement. Quality codes: Green (G) = Verified and accepted values. Yellow (Y) = Coarsely controlled values, suspicious or aggregated values. Orange (O) = Uncontrolled values Limits: >0 For more info see: https://www.smhi.se/kunskapsbanken/oceanografi/matning-och-berakning-av-vagor-1.3082 https://www.smhi.se/polopoly_fs/1.12171!webbFaktablad_46.pdf Delivery: Data is delivered in two different ways 1. Via a user interface where measurement series can be downloaded for one station at a time Data can be downloaded for the last hour, last day or full time series except the last day(historical reviewed) 2. Via a machine-machine solution (Atom flow rate). Where the same series of measurements as above can be obtained and also real-time data. These are the last hour’s readings. They can be retrieved for a measuring station at a time or for all active measuring stations.
