Description 
Summary

The dataset consists of dominant wave height, wave direction and wave period data in the North-Western Tyrrhenian Sea and in the Ligurian Sea. The dataset contains near real time wave data averaged over a time interval of 1 hour around the cardinal hour and reprocessed data averaged over monthly time intervals. Wave parameters estimated by HF Radar are representative of the upper 0.3-2.5 meters of the water column.
