Data Dictionary

Column Type Label Description
Date/Time (AEST) timestamp Date and Time (AEST)

Date and Time of wave data record (AEST)

Hs (m) numeric Significant Wave Height

The significant wave height (in metres), defined as the average of the highest one-third of the zero up-crossing wave heights in a wave record. . This wave height closely approximates the value a person would visualise if physically looking at the waves, over the same time period of the record.

Hmax (m) numeric Highest Single Wave

The maximum zero up-crossing wave height (in meters)

Tz (s) numeric Zero Up-Crossing Wave Period

The average of the zero up-crossing wave periods (in seconds) in a wave record.

Tp (s) numeric Wave Period

Wave period at the peak spectral energy (in seconds). This is an indication of the wave period of those waves that are producing the most energy in a wave record.

Peak Direction (degrees) numeric Peak Wave Direction

The direction associated with the peak energy period (Tp) waves, shown in degrees from true north.

SST (degrees C) numeric Sea Surface Temperature

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