Wind wave spectra and meteorological data from moored buoys from the East/West coasts of US and other locations from 01 October 2001 to 31 October 2001 (NODC Accession 0000682)

Wind wave spectra and meteorological data were collected from the
East/West coasts of US, South Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the
Great Lakes. Data were collected from 125 buoys with surface and
subsurface sensors from 01 October 2001 to 31 October 2001. Data were
supplied 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.

本数据集采集了美国东西海岸、南太平洋、墨西哥湾及五大湖区域的风浪谱与气象数据。
数据采集于2001年10月1日至2001年10月31日，由125套搭载表层与次表层传感器的浮标完成。
本数据集由国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NODC）提供。

每份测量序列均记录有站点标识、地理位置、日期、时间、采样时长与采样率等信息。
所记录的气象参数包括：气温与气压、露点、风速与风向、阵风、能见度、降水量及太阳辐射。
海洋表层数据涵盖：水温、盐度（或电导率）、有效波高与波陡度。
次表层观测数据可包含次表层水温、盐度、电导率、压强，以及海流东向与北向分量。
风浪数据可表示为谱密度值；对于方向谱而言，亦可表示为共谱（co-spectrum）、正交谱（quad-spectrum）或角傅里叶系数。
