Online data from Oceanographic buoy


Depth in meters can be obtained from pressure in dBars just with the transcription of the value, where the atmospheric pressure is already substracted. Example: 22.5 dBar of pressure means the depth of 22.5 m.

Top ten wind gusts
Here we present the ten strongest wind gusts measured at Coastal Oceanographic Station Piran from September 2003, when the quality control of the data was introduced, to this day. From October 16th, 2002 to May 21st, 2003 the wind was sampled for 10 minutes in each 30 minute interval. The sampling frequency was 4Hz. From May 21st, 2003 on the wind is sampled continuously (30 minutes in 30 minute interval). The sampling frequency remains the same - i.e. 4Hz.

Top ten powerful Tramontanas that occur in summer
In Slovenia a word Tramontana is used for a strong northerly (hurricane) wind that blows from the Alps to the Venice bay over Trieste, Slovenian  coast and Istra  with gusts sometimes as high as 200km/h (usually 80 km/h).

A short description of data processing from the oceanographic buoy

Wind, current and battery voltage data is received every half hour.
Wind measurements are conducted continuously with a sampling period of 0,25 s.

Computed quantities from the received measurements :

Average wind vector: the magnitude and direction of the vectorial average of instantaneous wind data
Average wind speed: the arithmetic mean of instantaneous wind speeds:
 
 Prevailing wind direction: the median value of instantaneous wind directions
Minimal wind speed and direction
Maximal wind speed and direction
Wind stability: the ratio between the magnitude of the average wind vector and the average wind speed.
After all wind data has been received, the buoy also supplies particulars about battery voltage and a cluster of data from the sensors installed on the current-meter (temperature and pressure at the bottom plus speed and direction of currents at 2 m depth intervals.
   
  The applied Beaufort scale has been taken from the web page at : http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/beaufort.html
