NODC Standard Format Ocean Wind Time Series from Buoys (F101) Data (1975-1985) (NCEI Accession 0014194)

The instrument arrays may be deployed on automated buoys, ships, or towers. The data record includes values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) wind components at specified date and time.

Wind values may have been averaged or filtered and are typically reported at time intervals of 10-15 minutes. Air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and dew point temperatures may also be reported. Data were primarily collected in coastal Alaska and Puget Sound, but measurements from a few specific equatorial Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean sites are also available.
