Wind wave spectra data from moored current meter and bottle casts in the Gulf of Mexico as part of the Brine Disposal project, 01 July 1978 - 21 May 1979 (NODC Accession 8000230)

Wind wave spectra data were collected using moored current meter and moored buoy casts in the Gulf of Mexico from July 1, 1978 to May 21, 1979. Data were submitted by National Ocean Service (NOS) as part of the Brine Disposal project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Wind Wave Spectra Data (F191) format. Full wind wave spectra descriptions are available at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f191.html. The F191 format is used to report meteorological data and ocean wave spectra data from NDBC. 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). 3) Report time series frequency, density and resolution of waves. Each record is 120 characters in length, sorted by station and record type. The first nine columns for all records are to be used for file type (columns 1-3) and file identifier (column 4-9). The file identifier, to be assigned by the originator, is an unique originator id for each data submission. After submission, the NODC reassigns to this field an unique NODC identifier for internal use.本数据集为1978年7月1日至1979年5月21日期间，在墨西哥湾利用锚定海流计与锚定浮标观测获取的海浪谱数据。数据由美国国家海洋服务局（National Ocean Service, NOS）作为盐水处置项目的一部分提交，后经美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）处理为NODC标准海浪谱数据（F191）格式。完整的海浪谱数据说明可访问：http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f191.html。 F191格式用于报送来自美国国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NDBC）的气象数据与海浪谱数据，共包含七种数据记录类型：1） 标识浮标相关信息，包括站位、观测时长、采样速率与航向；2） 标识气象参数，涵盖气温、气压、天气状况、太阳辐射与表层海浪；3） 报送海浪的时序频率、密度与分辨率。每条记录长度为120字符，按测站与记录类型排序。所有记录的前九列用于标注文件类型（第1-3列）与文件标识符（第4-9列）。文件标识符由数据提交方指定，为每次数据提交分配唯一的提交方标识；数据提交后，NODC将为该字段重新分配唯一的NODC内部标识符以供内部使用。
