Abstract:

The Wave-Current-Surge Information System (WAVCIS) observed data from April to October 2010, including wind speed in m/s, wind direction in degrees from the north, significant wave height in meters, maximum wave height in meters, wave periods in second, peak wave periods in seconds, and water level in meters NAVD 88, ADCP current speed in m/s and direction in degrees from the north. Date and time of these data are in UTC.
