NOAA National Data Buoy Center, Predicted Wave Heights at Buoy Locations (Ike), Gulf of Mexico, 10,11.2008 - 10.15.2008

This dataset displays different predicted wave heights at an assortment of buoys located throughout the Gulf of Mexico. The heights are given in both meters and feet. Feet measurements were obtained by multiplying the meters measurement by 3.2808399 (standard conversion rate). The data gives an update every 6 hours from 1800 hours starting today on the 11th of September, 2008 until 1800 hours on the 15th of September, 2008. This is the current time that Hurricane Ike is predicted to sweep through the Gulf of Mexico as it approaches land in Texas. It also gives information on when the wave height is predicted to be the highest at the buoy. The wave heights were obtained from the National Data Buoy Center which is a part of NOAA.
