Wave Site Data

 EMEC currently has two Datawell Directional Waverider buoys located at the test berths. These continuously measure the sea state parameters, and the output from the northern buoy is displayed below:

Present Climate – 05/09/2010 16:30:01 GMT
Maximum Wave Height (H max) 123.00cm
Significant Wave Height (H 1/3) 71.83cm
Maximum Wave Period (T max) 3.65s
Significant Wave Period (T 1/3) 3.53s

 

There is a time lag of approximately one hour between the buoy measurement and the website output.

The automated data stream displayed here has not been reviewed by EMEC for accuracy, therefore value should not be relied upon for any current activity.

If you would like more detail on this data stream or the direct supply of data, please contact info@emec.org.uk.
