Wave spectra, meteorological, and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS from 1982-10-26 to 1982-12-06 (NCEI Accession 8600235)

Wave spectra, meteorological, and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS. Data were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) from 26 October 1982 to 06 December 1982. Data has been processed by NODC to the standard NODC F191-Meteorology and Wave Spectra format. Data in this accession do not completely conform to the F191 format. Full format descriptions are available from NODC homepage at http://www.noaa.nodc.gov/.

The F191 format is used to report meteorological data and ocean wave spectra data from NDBO. 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), and 3) report time times series frequency, density and resolution of waves. Each record is 120 character in length, sorted by station and record type.
