Wave Data from CSIRO Waverider Buoys deployed in Tasmanian waters 1985-1993

In July 1985 the Division of Oceanography embarked on a wave observation program with the deployment of two "Waverider" buoys in the Southern Ocean near Cape Sorell on the west coast of Tasmania. Data were collected from moored Waverider Buoys deployed for various periods in Tasmanian coastal waters off Cape Grim, Cape Sorell (100m), Cape Sorell (50m) and Storm Bay. These observations are used to assess both typical and extreme sea states at these sites and for estimating spatial, seasonal and interannual variations in wave conditions in the Tasmanian region. The program concluded in December 1993 when the Storm Bay buoy ceased operation. There are two distinct datasets: a) Derived statistical data is available on-line for the seven locations mentioned in "Wave Climate Measurements in the Southern Ocean." b) Sample burst data for each of (possibly) nine locations. NOTES: All instruments used, and a copy of the data obtained during this program were sent to the Bureau of Meteorology. The Marine Observation Unit at the Bureau ([e-mail]) may be able to provide additional information. The data files in this collection are not in a Datacente supported format and no assurances are given as to the accuracy of data, or of the locations implied by the data file names. The CSIRO Waverider program has not been continued.

1985年7月，海洋学部门（Division of Oceanography）启动了一项波浪观测项目，在塔斯马尼亚州西海岸索雷尔角（Cape Sorell）附近的南大洋（Southern Ocean）海域部署了两台‘Waverider’型波浪浮标（Waverider buoys）。本次数据采集自在塔斯马尼亚沿岸海域不同时段部署的锚定Waverider型波浪浮标，部署点位涵盖格里姆角（Cape Grim）、索雷尔角（100米水深处）、索雷尔角（50米水深处）以及风暴湾（Storm Bay）。上述观测数据可用于评估各站点的典型海况与极端海况，同时可用于估算塔斯马尼亚区域内波浪条件的空间、季节及年际变化。该项目于1993年12月随风暴湾浮标停止运行正式终止。本数据集包含两类独立数据：a) 可在线获取的衍生统计数据，对应《南大洋波浪气候观测》一文中提及的7个观测点位；b) （可能涉及）9个点位的爆发式采样数据样本。备注：本项目中使用的全部仪器及所获数据的副本均已送交澳大利亚气象局（Bureau of Meteorology）。该局海洋观测部门的联系邮箱为[e-mail]，可提供额外相关信息。本数据集内的数据文件并非数据中心支持的标准格式，且不对数据准确性或数据文件名所隐含的点位准确性作出任何保证。CSIRO的Waverider项目已不再延续。
