Summary

Description

Historically measured/calculated wave parameters. Measured and derived wave data from data collected by oceanographic wave measuring buoys anchored at locations on the Queensland coastline. For more information please refer to [www.qld.gov.au/waves](https://www.qld.gov.au/waves). Field names are; **Hs** - Significant wave height, an average of the highest third of the waves in a record (26.6 minute recording period). **Hmax** - The maximum wave height in the record. **Tz** - The zero upcrossing wave period. **Tp** - The peak energy wave period. **Dir_Tp TRUE** - Direction (related to true north) from which the peak period waves are coming from. **SST** - Approximation of sea surface temperature.
