Wind wave spectra and meteorological data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the East/West coasts of US, North Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Alaska, Great Lakes, and other locations from 2002-04-01 to 2002-04-30 (NODC Accession 0000726)

Wind wave spectra and meteorological data were collected from FIXED
PLATFORMS from the East/West coasts of US, North Pacific Ocean, Gulf of
Mexico, Gulf of Alaska, Great Lakes, and other locations. Data were
collected from buoys with surface and subsurface sensors from 01 April
2002 to 30 April 2002. Data were submitted 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.

本数据集包含采集自美国东西海岸、北太平洋、墨西哥湾、阿拉斯加湾、五大湖及其他区域固定平台的风浪谱与气象数据。数据采集时段为2002年4月1日至2002年4月30日，采集载体为搭载水面与水下传感器的浮标，相关数据由美国国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NODC）提交。
每份测量序列均记录有站点标识符、位置、日期、时间、采样时长与采样频率。记录的气象参数可涵盖气温、气压、露点温度、风速与风向、阵风风速、能见度、降水量及太阳辐射。海洋表层数据可包含水温、盐度（或电导率）、有效波高与波陡。此外还可记录水下温度、盐度、电导率、压力，以及东向与北向海流分量。波浪数据可表示为谱密度值；对于方向谱，可进一步表示为同相谱与正交谱，或角傅里叶系数。
