Directional wave spectra measured in 150 m water depth south of Campbell Island in the Southern Ocean. Data are available in Native Triaxys format. more
The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has established a permanent wave observation station near Campbell Island, south of New Zealand (52 45.71 S, 169 02.54E). The site was chosen for logistical convenience and its unique location adjacent to the highly energetic Southern Ocean; allowing instrumentation typically deployed on the continental shelf to be used in this rarely observed southern environment. Validation of the measured significant wave height against co-located satellite altimeter observations suggests that the predominant wave directions a re not attenuated by the island. The data provide a valuable record of the detailed wave spectral characteristics from one of the least-sampled parts of the Global Ocean.
