(Abstract)
The WAVEOBS project was established with three primary goals; to get a better fundamental understanding of microseism sources in the north-east Atlantic near Ireland; to investigate the use of ocean generated microseisms as real time ocean wave height data; and to investigate their use as a climate proxy. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 4V, and is fully open.
