The data has been calibrated against NDBC buoy data and validated with independent buoy measurements and at cross-over points with other altimeter missions. The long term stability of the data has been assessed against buoy data and any discontinuities which may occur due to changes in the processing techniques or instrumentation has been removed in the calibration process. There is a static snapshot of the database as at February 2019 (https://dx.doi.org/10.26198/5c77588b32cc1), and this has been documented in a Scientific Data Publication. This metadata record provides access to the dynamic (most recent) version of the database. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-180.0, -80.0], [180.0, -80.0], [180.0, 80.0], [-180.0, 80.0], [-180.0, -80.0]]]} -180.0 180.0 -80.0 80.0 Global / Oceans | World Oceans | Ocean Waves | Sea State Oceans | Ocean Waves | Significant Wave Height Oceans | Ocean Waves | Swells Oceans | Ocean Waves | Wind Waves Oceans | Ocean Winds | Surface Winds Website of the IMOS Surface Waves Sub-Facility documentDigital HTML Link to article on calibration documentDigital HTML Data paper in Scientific Data (snapshot of database at 28/02/2019) documentDigital HTML NetCDF files via THREDDS catalog documentDigital HTML Files via Amazon Web Services S3 storage documentDigital HTML View and download data though the AODN Portal documentDigital HTML imos:srs_surface_waves_altimetry_map documentDigital Altimeter wind/wave WMS srs_surface_waves_altimetry_map#file_url documentDigital The ncUrlList is a WFS service that returns a list of URLs matching a query.
