Title

WaveNet near real-time data feed - from the past 48 hours

Abstract

These data are a subset of the WaveNet near real time data feed, consisting of telemetry (automatically transmitted data) from the Cefas operated Directional Wave Riders (DWR) within UK waters over the past 48 hours. As this is a near-live feed, the data provided have not been fully quality checked or assured and hence should be used with due caution.

Lineage

In operation since 2002, WaveNet collects and processes data from the Cefas-operated Datawell Directional Waverider buoys, tethered at strategic locations around the UK coastline. The WaveNet system also gathers wave data from a variety of third party platforms and programmes (industry and public sector-funded), all of which are freely available for visualisation on the WaveNet website (`https://www.cefas.co.uk/data-and-publications/wavenet/`_). Cefas sends the wave data to the Met Office (to help improve the wave and tidal surge model) and the National Flood Forecasting Service (UKCFF). Regional flood forecasters, local authorities and other stakeholders use the near-real time data from the buoys and the model predictions to provide better advice, guidance and warnings to emergency responders and communities about imminent coastal flood risk. .. _`https://www.cefas.co.uk/data-and-publications/wavenet/`: https://www.cefas.co.uk/data-and-publications/wavenet/
