| Summary | The wave data were collected in the framework of an environmental study in view of the deployment of a pipeline from Libyan offshore to Sicily. The data were sampled with a frequency of 1 to 2 Hz, with a duration of individual records of 20 minutes (1024 seconds for the Hermes buoy), at intervals of 90 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). |
