*DATASET-NAME: Wave data in the Venice lagoon (MOVEN Project: 1993-94)

*TIME-PERIOD: From October 1993 to May 1994.

*GEOGRAPHIC-COVERAGE: Buoy position: 45° 21.80'N - 012° 26.00'E and 45° 23.80'N - 012° 26.50'E

*PROJECT: MOVEN (Moto Ondoso a VENezia)

*PARAMETERS: Standard wave parameters (Significant height Hmo, Mean period time T0,2, Period time Ts1, Ts2, Tc, Tav, Tint, Tp, Tpeack, Narrowness EPS2, Broadness factor EPS4, Spectral width QP, Steepness S2, Mean direction, Directional spread S0).

*INSTRUMENTS: Datawell Directional Waverider MK1 (Point A) and Datawell non-Directional Waverider (Point B).

*SUMMARY: The data were collected in the framework of an environmental study in the Northern Adriatic area (along Venezia coast) for the forecasting of sturm surges and associated floods of Venice.
The experimental activity is based on a Datawell Directional Waverider buoy moored at 15 metres of depth (point A) and a Datawell non-Directional Waverider buoy moored at 11 metres of depth (point B).
The data were sampled at 1,28 Hz frequency (point A) and 2 Hz frequency (point B) for 1200 seconds (point A) and 1024 seconds (point B) at one-hour interval. The complete set consists of 318 days of recording.
