Manly Hydraulics Laboratory Waverider buoys - Sea surface temperature data

Manly Hydraulics Laboratory (MHL) (part of the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE), which has assumed function of former NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH)) operates a system of Waverider buoys off the NSW coastline. The buoys measure wave height and other wave statistics such as wave period on a continuous real-time basis, and are also capable of measuring wave direction (wave data accessible via related metadata record: Waverider buoys Observations - Australia - delayed (National Wave Archive) - https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au:443/geonetwork/srv/api/records/2807f3aa-4db0-4924-b64b-354ae8c10b58) and sea surface temperature (SST). The data is gathered by the Waverider system developed by the Dutch company, Datawell, namely thermistors that are mounted inside the hull of the buoys, at the base of the buoy about 0.5m below the water surface. The SST data is stored on the receiving station PC before routine transfer to Manly Hydraulics Laboratory via email.

曼利水力实验室（Manly Hydraulics Laboratory, MHL）隶属于新南威尔士州规划、产业与环境部（NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, DPIE），该部门承接了原新南威尔士州环境与遗产办公室（NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, OEH）的相关职能，其在新南威尔士州沿岸部署了Waverider浮标（Waverider buoy）观测系统。该浮标可实时连续采集波高及其他波浪统计参数（如波浪周期），同时支持测定波浪方向（相关波浪数据可通过关联元数据记录获取：Waverider浮标观测数据——澳大利亚——延迟模式（国家波浪档案库），访问链接：https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au:443/geonetwork/srv/api/records/2807f3aa-4db0-4924-b64b-354ae8c10b58）与海表温度（sea surface temperature, SST）。此类数据由荷兰企业Datawell研发的Waverider系统采集，具体通过安装于浮标船体内部、距水面约0.5米基座处的热敏电阻（thermistor）完成。海表温度数据会先存储于接收站的个人计算机中，随后通过电子邮件定期传输至曼利水力实验室。
