NOAA marine environmental buoy data from the National Data Buoy Center for 2001-09 (NODC Accession 0000595)

Wind wave spectra and meteorological data were collected from the US East/West coasts, South Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, and other locations. Data were collected from 126 buoys with surface and subsurface sensors from 01 September 20001 to 30 September 2001. Data were supplied 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.本数据集采集自美国东西海岸、南太平洋、墨西哥湾、五大湖及其他区域的风浪谱（wind wave spectra）与气象数据。数据采集于2000年9月1日至2001年9月30日期间，由126个搭载水面及水下传感器的浮标完成，由美国国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NODC）提供。每份测量序列均记录了站点标识、地理位置、日期、时间、采样时长与采样速率。所记录的气象参数可包括气温、气压、露点、风速与风向、阵风、能见度、降水量以及太阳辐射。海面相关数据可涵盖水温、盐度（或电导率）、有效波高（significant wave height）及波陡（wave steepness）。此外还可记录水下温度、盐度、电导率、压强，以及东向与北向海流分量。海浪数据可表示为谱密度（spectral density）值；对于方向谱（directional spectra），则可表示为同谱与正交谱（co- and quad-spectra）或角傅里叶系数（angular Fourier coefficients）。
