This data is a special submission to NODC containing wave data during Hurricane Andrew August 25-26, 1992. This data file contains 24 bursts spaced at 2 hour intervals. Each burst contains 2048 points sampled at 2 Hz. The positive U and V axis must be rotated +105 degrees in the mathematical sense in order to align the +V axis with true north. For this data a time stamp of the first point of the burst is followed by 2048 points of data. The meter is located 2 meters above bottom.
LATEX-A Hydrographic and Current data was submitted by Dr. Norman L Guinasso Jr., of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.
