Irish Lights MetOcean observations
The Irish Lights AllMetOcean dataset publishes hourly averages from equipped aids to navigation around Ireland. La Bouée uses locations that report valid significant wave height and average wave period, with water temperature and atmospheric measurements where present. Sensors can be unavailable and hourly averaging can smooth short-lived extremes.
