Wave buoys Observations - Australia - delayed (National Wave Archive)

Buoys provide integral wave parameters. Buoy data from the following organisations contribute to the National Wave Archive: Manly Hydraulics Laboratory (part of the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), which has assumed function of the former NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH)); Bureau of Meteorology; Western Australia Department of Transport (DOT); the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES); the Defence Technology Agency (DTA), New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF); the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), the University of Western Australia (UWA), Deakin University; and the NSW Nearshore Wave Data Program from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW). The data (aside from IMOS, the NSW Nearshore Wave Data Program, Deakin University and some of the buoys from UWA) is gathered by the Waverider system developed by the Dutch company, Datawell. Some older wave data were collected using non-directional Waverider buoys. As technology advanced and directional measuring capabilities were developed in wave buoys, wave buoy networks were gradually upgraded to directional Waverider buoys. Therefore, some older datasets do not have directional information whereas newer datasets have directional information. The data from IMOS, the NSW Nearshore Wave Data Program, Deakin University and some of the buoys from UWA, comes from Spotter Wave Buoys, developed by Sofar Ocean Technologies, which collect data similarly to the Waverider system.The buoy data from the Manly Hydraulics Laboratory replaces data (has been re-formatted) from the following specific collection - https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au:443/geonetwork/srv/api/records/bb7e9d82-3b9c-44c6-8e93-1ee9fd30bf21.

浮标可提供积分式波浪参数。以下机构的浮标数据共同构建了国家波浪档案库：曼利水力实验室（隶属于新南威尔士州气候变化、能源、环境与水利部（DCCEEW），承接了原新南威尔士州环境与遗产办公室（OEH）的职能）、澳大利亚气象局、西澳大利亚州交通厅（DOT）、昆士兰州环境与科学部（DES）、新西兰国防军国防技术局（DTA）、综合海洋观测系统（IMOS）、西澳大利亚大学（UWA）、迪肯大学，以及新南威尔士州近岸波浪数据项目（同样隶属于新南威尔士州气候变化、能源、环境与水利部（DCCEEW））。
除综合海洋观测系统（IMOS）、新南威尔士州近岸波浪数据项目、迪肯大学及西澳大利亚大学（UWA）的部分浮标数据外，其余数据均由荷兰Datawell公司研发的Waverider波浪测量系统采集。部分早期波浪数据采用无方向性Waverider浮标采集。随着技术进步，波浪浮标研发出方向测量功能，浮标观测网络逐步升级为方向性Waverider浮标。因此，部分早期数据集未包含方向信息，而较新的数据集则具备方向参数。
综合海洋观测系统（IMOS）、新南威尔士州近岸波浪数据项目、迪肯大学及西澳大利亚大学（UWA）的部分浮标数据，则来自Sofar Ocean Technologies公司研发的Spotter波浪浮标（Spotter Wave Buoys），其数据采集原理与Waverider系统类似。
曼利水力实验室提供的浮标数据已对以下特定采集源的数据进行了重构与格式化替换，该采集源链接为：https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au:443/geonetwork/srv/api/records/bb7e9d82-3b9c-44c6-8e93-1ee9fd30bf21。
