Wind direction and other data were collected from fixed platforms from Stuart Island and other locations from 17 March 1980 to 11 July 1980. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F101 Ocean Wind Time Series from Buoys format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f101.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services. The F101 format is used for time-series measurements of wind and other surface meteorological parameters taken at fixed locations. The instrument arrays may be deployed on automated buoys, ships, or towers. Position, platform type and height, and instrument elevation are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) wind components at specified date and time. Wind values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at time intervals of 10-15 minutes. Air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and dewpoint temperature may also be reported.
