Summary

GTAURO, on behalf of Marine Geophysical Italiana S.r.l. - The wave data were collected in the framework of an environmental study in view of the construction of a harbour. The data were sampled with a frequency of 1.5 to 2 Hz, with a duration of individual records of 20 minutes at intervals of 180 minutes. The data sets are stored as a raw time series together with the related characteristic parameters Hs, Ts, Hm, Tm, Tz, obtained by Tucker method (M.J. Tucker, 1983: Analysis of records of sea waves, Proc. of the Inst. of Civil Eng., 26, 305-316).
