Faull Chevron Oil Field Research Company resourceProvider Chevron Research Corporation contributor Chevron Research Corporation author tableDigital The data comprise wave forces and wave heights taken during storm conditions at two locations in the Gulf of Mexico. Wave Project I (1954-1958), with platform located in Bay Marchand, La., in 33 feet of water, contains data for hurricanes Flossy (1956), Audrey (1957), and Ella (1958), and tropical storms Bertha (1957) and Esther (1957). During Wave Project II (1960-1963), with the platform located at 28° 47' N and 90° 12' W in 100 feet of water, waves were recorded from hurricanes Donna (1960), Ethel (1960), Carla (1961), and Inge (1961). Digitized data on magnetic tape - wave forces and profiles and related calibrations; magnetic tape compatible with IBM ЗбО system. A. Wave Project I: approximately, 500 individual waves digitized at 0.2 sec intervals; one reel 2400 ft.; (individual waves were selected from hurricane records) B. Wave Project II: approximately 100 individual waves and 76 min. of continuous records digitized at 0.2 sec intervals; one reel, 2400 ft.; (individual waves and continuous records were selected from hurricane records) This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 6900632 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.

The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: CHEVRON RESEARCH CORP.
