Summary of Archived Atlantic Coast Wave Information Study Pressure, Wind, Wave, and Water Level Data.

Abstract

This report is a summary of seven data sets produced and archived by the Wave Information Study (WIS) for the Atlantic coast: (1) surface pressure fields, (2) Phase I hindcast wind fields, (3) Phase I deepwater wave data, (4) Phase II hindcast wind fields, (5) Phase II hindcast wave data, (6) Phase III nearshore wave data, and (7) water level data. The wave parameters from the data sets listed in 2, 5, and 6 have been incorporated into WIS's computer-based data system, the Sea-State Engineering Analysis System (SEAS), which is available to all Corps of Engineers personnel. These data sets, except for 1 and 7, have been transferred to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in Asheville, North Carolina. These data may be obtained through Customer Service at NCDC (reference Tape Deck 9787). Originator-supplied keywords: Ocean waves--Atlantic coast--Statistics; Pressure; Winds; Water levels.
