The Surface Waves Sub-Facility, part of the Satellite Remote Sensing Facility, will calibrate, collect and distribute ocean surface wave data from current and next-generation satellite missions. The Sub-Facility will build Australia’s capability in Satellite Remotely Sensed wave data-streams and deliver global validated, processed wave data streams, with a focused effort in the Australian region. Activities will include: • building on the wave measurements obtained from the Bass Strait altimeter calibration sites for calibration of the current satellite missions in the Australian region, • using the Southern Ocean Flux Station to validate wave data in the extreme Southern Ocean wave climate, • delivering historical and near-real-time altimeter-derived significant wave heights to the IMOS OceanCurrent Facility, producing daily maps and animations that will be used by researchers and the broader community, • managing the delivery of wind-wave data derived from altimeter and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite platforms to the Australian marine and coastal science community.
