Data Dictionary

Column Type Label Description
Date/Time timestamp Date & Time

Date and time of wave data record.

Hs numeric Signifiicant Wave Height

Hs is the significant wave height or Hsig. It's the defined as the average of the highest one-third of wave heights in a wave record. This wave height closely approximates the value a person would see.

Hmax numeric Highest Single Wave

The height of the the highest single wave in a wave record.

Tz numeric Zero Up-Crossing Wave Period

The average of the zero up crossing wave periods in a wave record.

Tp numeric Wave Period

The wave period of the waves that are producing the most energy in a wave record.

Peak Direction numeric Peak Wave Direction

The direction that the peak waves are coming from, shown in degrees from true north.

SST numeric Sea Surface Temperature

The sea surface temperature at the wave monitoring buoy, in degrees Celsius.
