This folder contains the processed data stored in a text format Time - matlab standard datenumber. Julian Days after 0-Jan-0000 hm0 - Significant wave height calculated from spectrum hmax - max wave height calculated from direct time series analysis mdir - mean direction qp - Godas spreading parameter sprtp - directional spreading at the spectral peak tm02 - Zero-crossing period calculated from the spectrum tmm10 - Energy period tp - Peak period as 1/fp where fp is the frequency at which S(f) is maximum.
