Column 1 contains the date and time of a measurement as a 14 digit numeric string. Column 2 represents the same date and time, but as a decimal day number, where 1.00000 represents midnight of 1 January 1993. Column 3 represents the wind speed in m/s. Column 4 represents the wind direction (from which the wind blows) in degrees. A several points in the file -999999 appears in all four columns and represents the end of a data set download.

Brief description

This metadata record covers a subset of the data collected during dredging by the Townsville Port Authority in Cleveland Bay in 1993. Data are divided into a number of main groups: Wind, tide gauge, wave rider, S4, sediment traps, water samples and nephelometers. The data are grouped according to collection method and sampling location. See the metadata record title for collection method and geographic extent for the sampling location. Unique site numbers were assigned within Cleveland Bay at which data were collected. Some of these sites were named, and others were unnamed.
