SUBJECT: Errors in Archive Files
The Corps of Engineers has discovered a few errors in our archived wave data for the months of August and November 1994. The specific stations and erroneous data are:
| STATION | DATE | TIME(UTC) | WVHGT(m) | AVGPD(s) | DOMPD(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. 41021 | 8/13/94 | 1000 | 1.14 | 4.72 | 25.00 |
| 8/13/94 | 1100 | 1.15 | 4.98 | 25.00 | |
| 2. 42003 | 8/23/94 | 1300 | 2.04 | 4.43 | 4.76 |
| 3. 46035 | 11/16/94 | 0300 | 6.00 | 10.7 | 20.30 |
All spectral wave data are also incorrect for these observations. Please correct your data base if possible. NDBC will provide reruns if required.
In addition, we have discovered minor position errors in C-MAN stations in the Western Pacific extending from August - December 1994. The station identifiers range from 91222 through 91377. Maximum position error is 6 minutes, or 0.1o latitude or longitude. The correct positions were archived in January 1995, and prior to August 1994.
