Some other neat data from the same buoy.

Wave height http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=42058&meas=wv...

Wind direction http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=42058&meas=wd...

Air temperature http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=42058&meas=at...

Water surface temperature http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=42058&meas=wt...

Dewpoint http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=42058&meas=de...

I just tried the data format codes from the link someone posted earlier http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/measdes.shtml

Cool stuff!

Being a former QuarterMaster in the Navy, all of this is so fascinating. 20 years ago this data was not easily accessible to the public so you had to wait for some sort of published journal to come out to see this information. I love that we all have access to it so easily.

Additionally, it is located in the Central Caribbean - 210 NM SSE of Kingston, Jamaica
