Wave Buoy Network

Waverider buoys have collected observations and measurements on wave characteristics including wave height and period statistics. Waverider buoys are located in the Galway Bay 1/4 Scale Test Site and the Full Scale Atlantic Marine Energy Test Site (AMETS) located off the Erris Peninsula near Belullet. Waveriders first deployed in 2006 with main deployments from 2008 onwards. Waveriders have collected data on waves using latest instrumentation technologies to reflect the real conditions experienced. Waveriders have been managed by the Marine Institute (Ireland) in partnership with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. Dataset complete for functional periods of observations. Any incomplete periods reflect instrumentation offline due to adverse weather conditions and or maintenance波浪追踪浮标（Waverider buoys）已采集包括波高、周期统计在内的海浪特征观测与测量数据。该类浮标部署于戈尔韦湾（Galway Bay）1/4比例试验场，以及位于贝卢利特附近埃里斯半岛外的全尺寸大西洋海洋能源试验场（Atlantic Marine Energy Test Site, AMETS）。该型浮标于2006年首次部署，主要部署工作自2008年起开展。浮标采用最新仪器技术采集海浪数据，以真实反映现场实际海况。该型浮标的运维工作由爱尔兰海洋研究所（Marine Institute (Ireland)）与爱尔兰可持续能源管理局（Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland）合作开展。观测功能正常时段的数据集均完整无缺，数据缺失时段均因恶劣天气或仪器维护导致设备离线。
