This dataset contains Wave Spectral Properties (WAVSTAT) data from an Axys Technologies - TRIAXYS Surface Wave Spectra sensor (WAVSS) on the Washington Shelf Surface Mooring (CE07SHSM) Surface Buoy at 0m depth as part of the Coastal Endurance Array for 2015-04-05 to 2024-01-21. These data were last updated by OOI on 2024-01-21 and were received by NCEI on 2024-01-21.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a network of interactive, globally distributed sensors that provides access to real-time ocean data, enhancing our capability to address critical issues such as climate change, ecosystem variability, ocean acidification, and carbon cycling. The Observatory consists of five arrays continuously collecting ocean data. Two coastal arrays expand existing observations off both U.S. coasts. A cabled array wires a region in the Northeast Pacific Ocean with high-speed optical and high-power grid that powers data gathering and observation. Global components address planetary-scale changes using moored open-ocean infrastructure linked to shore via satellite.
