Wind wave spectra and meteorological data were collected from the East/West coasts of US, South Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes. Data were collected from 125 buoys with surface and subsurface sensors from 01 January 2002 to 31 January 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.
