Description

This dataset contains the information about sea state and environmental parameters in the area of tidal inlet near Höfn city, South East coast of Iceland. Buoy data is given with original half-hour time spacing. Wind and tidal sensors' data are given with the original 10 min time spacing. All of the given parameters did not undergo any re-interpolation, filtering or any other processing.

Comma-separated values'(.csv) table (217 rows 3 columns) with the the following fields:

  1st column: time in the format  dd-Mmm-yyyy HH:MM:SS;
  2nd column: Significant wave height (Hs) in meters (m);
  3rd column  Peak wave period in seconds (s).

Comma-separated values'(.csv) table (649 rows 5 columns) with the the following fields:

  1st column: time in the format  dd-mm-yyyy HH:MM:SS;
  2nd column: observed sea level (Sjávarhæð) in meters (m);
  3rd column  astronomical tide (Flóðatafla) in meters (m);
  4th column  wind speed (Vindur) in meters per second (m/s);
  5th column  wind direction (Vindátt) in degrees (deg).

The corresponding data chunks are published after the kind allowance of the data owners: Vignir Júlíusson and Greipur Sigurðsson.

 

Notes

The dataset partially doubles information from the publicly accessible source as a courtesy for the scientific community. This dataset serves as an auxiliary information for a project, which is aimed to test various methods of bathymetry reconstruction from X-band radar image sequences.
