FY 2014 Historical Wave and Wind Observations at Ocean Station P Belka, D., M. Schwendeman, J. Thomson, and M.F. Cronin APL-UW Tech Report 1047, University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory, Seattle, WA, Published online (2014) An historical data set with 30 years of wave and wind observations from Ocean Weather Station P (50°N, 145°W) is described and validated against modern measurements. Observation biases are discussed and corrections are made where appropriate. Climate trends are explored, including a negative correlation between waves and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. The validated historical data are deposited in a public archive with online access. Feature Publications | Outstanding Scientific Publications Contact Sandra Bigley | Help
