Wind wave spectra and meteorological data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the East/West coasts of US, North Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Alaska, Great Lakes, and other locations from 01 November 2002 to 31 November 2002 (NODC Accession 0000835)

Wind wave spectra and meteorological data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the East/West coasts of US, North Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Alaska, Great Lakes, and other locations. Data were collected from buoys with surface and subsurface sensors from 01 November 2002 to 31 November 2002. Data were submitted 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.本数据集的风浪谱（wind wave spectra）与气象数据采集自美国东西海岸、北太平洋、墨西哥湾、阿拉斯加湾、五大湖及其他区域的固定平台（fixed platforms）。数据采集周期为2002年11月1日至2002年11月31日，由搭载表层与次表层传感器的浮标完成采集，相关数据由国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NODC）提交。 每一组测量序列均记录了站标识符、观测位置、日期、时间、采样时长（sampling duration）与采样速率（sampling rate）。所记录的气象参数可包括气温与气压、露点（dew point）、风速与风向、阵风（wind gust）、能见度（visibility）、降水量（precipitation）及太阳辐射（solar radiation）。海洋表层观测数据可涵盖水温、盐度（salinity）或电导率（conductivity）、有效波高（significant wave height）与波陡（steepness）。此外还可记录次表层温度（subsurface temperature）、盐度、电导率、压力，以及东向与北向海流分量。海浪数据可表示为谱密度值，针对方向谱而言，则可表示为同相谱（co-spectra）、正交谱（quad-spectra）或角向傅里叶系数（angular Fourier coefficients）。
