In the report, Buoys have 5-digit station identifiers (e.g., 42001) while C-MAN stations have an alphanumeric station identifier (e.g., PLSF1).
Wind Speed: For stations in this report, wind speed is sampled at a rate of 1.0 Hz. For the Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) station wind speeds are reported to NDBC in knots to a resolution of 0.1 knots. C-MAN wind speeds have been converted to meters per second (m/s) for this report, where 1 m/s = 1.94 knots. For the buoy stations wind speeds are reported to NDBC in meters per second to a resolution of 0.1 m/s. For the plot legends:
CWS: The average wind speed over a 10-minute period at the anemometer height. In this report, data are plotted at the time of the end of the valid 10-minute period.
MXGT1: The Peak 5-second gust during the past hour at the anemometer height. The time of MXGT1 is reported to the nearest minute, however, in this report data are plotted at the valid time of the hourly report.
WSPD1: The average wind speed for a period of 2 minutes for C-MAN stations and 8 minutes for buoy stations.
GUST1: The highest five-second average wind speed during the 2 or 8 minute sampling period.
Pressure: For stations in this report, pressure is sampled at a rate of 1.0 Hz and reported to a resolution of 0.1 hectoPascal (hPa). For the plot legends:
BARO1: Sea-level Pressure. Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations average the pressure over 2 minutes. The buoy stations average the pressure over 8-minutes.
In addition 41041, 41043, 41046, 42056, and 42057 are equipped with Hurricane Supplemental Measurements:
Winds:
MX1MGT1: Maximum 1-minute wind speed during the previous hour.
Pressure:
MN1MSLP1: Lowest 1-minute sea-level pressure during the past hour when the sea-level pressure is less than 1008 hPa.
Wave: Sampling rate and durations for the wave systems are given in the footnote above for Table 2.
WVHGT: The significant wave height that represents the average of the highest one-third of the waves during the wave sampling period and is computed from the zeroth spectral moment (m0) as 4 * v m0 .
DOMPD: The Dominant Period that represents the wave period (time from between consecutive passes of the wave crests) of the waves with the most energy.
Closest Point of Approach (CPA): Time, bearing (degrees True), and distance (Nautical Miles) from the station to Hurricane Ike at CPA are computed using the positions from the National Hurricane Center's advisories that have been interpolated to hourly values for positions, wind speed (intensity), and central pressure.
