Historic wave measurements and additional ocean surface parameters recorded by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's Coastal Data Information Program network of buoys and pressure sensors from November 1975 through February 2019

Description

The foundation of this historic collection are wave spectra and parameters measured by bottom-mounted pressure sensors and surface buoys deployed across US waters. Supplementing the spectral wave data are measurements of water level, sea temperature, air temperature, and wind speed and direction. The data were collected in real-time and transmitted to the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), La Jolla, CA, where they were processed and submitted to quality control procedures. CDIP, founded in 1975, maintains wave gauges in US waters worldwide, with primary funding from The US Army Corps of Engineers, and in extensive partnership with NOAA Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Regional Associations and other governmental, university, and private entities.
