F01 Directional Waves

Sea State

University of Maine real-time buoy observations in the Gulf of Maine at NERACOOS site F01 - Penobscot Bay, located at 44d 3.330m N, 68d 59.892m W Between Owls Head and Vinalhaven. NERACOOS buoy F0127 was deployed from 2014-12-05 17:50:00 until 2015-10-28 11:08:00 UTC. Sea surface wave measurements of significant wave height and dominant wave period are estimated from vertical accelerations measured hourly by a 3-axis accelerometer onboard the buoy.
