This repository contains wave agitation data recorded at the Outer Port of Punta Langosteira (A Coruña, Spain), from Oct 2024 to Jan 2025.
The data was collected using the OBS-Buoy400 Wave Buoy model, which is designed for reliable wave and sea condition monitoring. The buoy is equipped with sensors to measure wave height, period, and other related parameters accurately.
The buoy is positioned at the Outer Port of Punta Langosteira, with the following geographical coordinates:
- Latitude: 43.341927
- Longitude: -8.507792
This location provides additional wave agitation data to the already existing wave radars.
The dataset contains information recorded from October 2024 to January 2025. Each data point is separated by a 30-minute interval. The variables included are essential for understanding wave characteristics and are defined as follows:
-
Time (UTC): the timestamp of the recorded data in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
-
Significant Wave Height (h_s) [m]: represents the average height of the highest one-third of waves observed during the sampling period, measured in meters.
-
Maximum Wave Height (h_max) [m]: the maximum height of a single wave recorded during the sampling period, measured in meters.
-
Peak Wave Period (t_p) [s]: the period (in seconds) corresponding to the peak energy of the wave spectrum, indicating the dominant wave period.
The same dataset is provided in two formats for flexibility and ease of use:
- An excel file with the above variables as columns.
- A csv file for easy data processing using code or data analysis tools.
